[yijiawang]

After pollenning .... made some hybrids in this afternoon,

[Alessandro.marinello]

Cypripedium fargesii

Superb, Allesandro!

C. calceolus and C. ventricosum

Beautiful plants, Jan! I have to agree with Anthony...I've never seen such a dark C. calceolus...it's really drool-worthy!

Thanks Wim
I'm not Cypripedium cultivator, this makes me happy

Are these the kind of thing people use in orchid compost?

Wonderful plants, Dieter!!

Now I know why that hybrid is called "Schoko"

OK guys,
I have some mmore from this morning.

I bought this from a known nursery as "selected alba form"
but now it is a genetic mutation,
not bad 

Cypripedium x ventricosum ' Uwes alba #1 '


this is one of my first time flowering
Cypripedium farreri seedlings, about 6 year old,


enjoy

[Alex]

That farreri is beautiful

Do you give it anyspecial treatment or grow it like other Chinese Cyps?

Cheers,

Alex

Garden orchids from the Netherlands (http://www.gardenorchid.com/en/) is selling a lot of Cypripediums in Belgium now;

I'm still wondering which species and hybrids they are selling though!?!

I take it C. 'Kentucky' is C. kentuckiense, C. 'Regina' is C. reginae, C. 'Parville' is C. parviflorum var. parviflorum, C. 'Pueblo' is C. parviflorum var. pubescens!

But then it starts: C. 'Regina White' is said to be a hybrid, but which one?

As for 'Kentucky Maxi', 'Kentucky Pink' and 'Kentucky Pink Blush', I haven't got a clue...from the name I would say they are all Cyp. kentuckiense hybrids

Anyone care to guess??
