hello,
as far as I heared from an "insider",
various Kentucky lines have a kentuckiense backbone
to which colours of other lines have been introgressed into.

but he did not say what was introgressed.
the Regina white is reginae alba,
the Kentucky Maxi for me is "Gabriela" hybrid with fasciolatum

but no real idea what the others could be, sorry

there are some more hybrids from same source with montanum parent,
all are "unregistered" yet.
flowers of two of them will follow for me in about 3 weeks...........


cheers

hello guys,

this is the next of those 'selected'  alba clones, but its the best

Cypripedium  x ventricosum ' Uwes alba #2 '


enjoy

[Alex]

Here's 'Pueblo' in my greenhouse yesterday - looks like fairly typical pubescens to me, no?

P.S. Where do they get these names??!!

............... Where do they get these names??!!

from the fantasy................

[Maren]

I would imagine the names were chosen to indicate (to the authorities?) that the plants are hybrids, not species. Different rules for exportation apply to species. But of course, there could be other reasons.

Hallo Dieter,

I am puzzled by the choice of name for Cypripedium  x ventricosum ' Uwes alba #2 '.

When I studied Latin in the last century, 'alba' meant 'white' and it is generally understood that if a plant form is named as 'alba', it lacks red pigmentation.

Here is one in Flower.

Cypripedium japonicum in flower now,  in situ. It is the first time that I enjoy this species in the wild, astonish so warm climate...

[wolfgang vorig]

some Cypripedien today

[goofy]

hello,
I think the "kentucky" was wrong labelled in the garden center.

this is nothing with kentuckiense,
neither the species nor a hybrid with kentuckiense.

nice flower though.

cheers

hello Maren, yes you are right

but you overlooked the posting #114

......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 '


...................

indeed it is not "alba" , the funny name is just a reminder for me,
that the guy cheated me many years ago with 4 plants of these.
no one was white.

but I will show you next days some "true"whites,
and all are NOT from "Uwe" 

cheers

The names applied to the Gardenorchids offerings are marketing names and nothing more. The first four last year Pueblo is parviflorum pubescens; Parville is parviforum parviforum; Regina White obviously reginae alba and Kentucky is kentuckiense. It is a pity that the grower will not tell us what the new hybrids are and that they are not registering them. I have about 30 Kentucky Pink Blush in flower and there is quite a variation but many are very similar to Phillip. The Kentucky Maxi is indeed like Gabriela. I like the way the bowl darkens as it gets older. Because many of the plants are flowering early through being grown in a greenhouse there is likely to be a lot of variation when the later plants flower. I have yet to see a pink in flower . My concern is the number of plants I have found this year with poor root systems. I think it is party due to the high organic cntent of the compost and possibly the summer temperatures they were grown in.
