Hi,

Maren - I would be careful about labelling your venticosum pastel as such. The 'teeth' on the entrance to the lip are raised and quite prominent and that usually means a fasciolatum cross.
My feeling is that this plant is from the same cross as the one I posted earlier.
If I were a betting man then my guess would be fasciolatum x ventricosum ( called Hideki Okuyama) but made with a pale/alba ventricosum.
On the other subject of your possible parviflorum - see the enclosed photos of mine. I think this one is the 'makasin' form. The whole plant and flowers are very slender and graceful.
The next couple of photos shows the very dark hybrid Pixi (calceolus x tibeticum). This one is much more tibeticum in height than calceolus and increases very quickly.
Lastly there is a general view of mostly hybrids flowering on the north side of the greenhouse,

Regards,

David

David,

your hybrids show much vigour and very floriforus. Really like that tibeticum hybrid.

cheers

Hi there,

Thanks for the comments on 'Pixi'.
My records show it was bought as an unflowered seedling in the winter of 2006/7 from Peter Corkhill.
The photo shows the flower as a bit more red than it really is, courtesy of the camera.
There is definitely a more pronounced 'chocolate' colour to it in real life,

Hello Lukas,

love your x alaskanum, very pretty and also very rare.

A question please. I notice that you have covered the soil surface with wire mesh. Is this to deter thieves?

Dear Maren,

very well noticed, this is against the cats that love to make their nocturnal activitys in my Cypripedium bed!
With this protection they can not dig any wholes.
