Thanks Anthony...
I'm tempted to start growing them in the garden too.
I've read the Frosch website however do you have any tips on how I should prepare a site Anthony?
My soil is on the heavy side.

Dig a 'king big hole and fill it with the same mix you use in pots. If you have a problem with excess rain, as I did in Dunblane, then plant the crown slightly above the general garden level and cover with no more than an inch of mix and a layer of gravel? I used to use pond baskets, but you need to make sure they have fairly wide mesh to prevent roots being trapped as they grow through into the garden soil.

hello,
nice Sunday yesterday,
so could take some nice pictures.
I am happy that it survived last winter, but flowering later than last years
growing in pot in pure "NZ sphagnum", with a good layer of fine pine bark.
Cypripedium acaule
also a "surviver", one of two plants,
but much smaller than last year
Cypripedium montanum
season tends to the end,
so now waiting on the "reginae and its hybrids" and the kentuckienses.
cheers

Dieter,
Your acaule and montanum are mouth watering. I still haven't succeeded in getting my acaule to flower. But I hope next year will be the case. Since last year I moved my acaule to a live Sphagnum bog and the roots never looked healthier than before. Killed too many when trying to grow them in pots even in acid media. For what I can see they like the live Sphagnum conditions.
Montanum is one I still am searching for, but have high hopes for some I.V. seedlings next year. Until then I'll have to settle with its hybrids, which are nice too.
Here is another one:
montanum x kentuckiense from Gartenwerkstatt-Schreiner in Germany.

ventricosum?

Johnny,
it could be a ventricosum cross- the colours have the look of 'ventricosum pale' from Michael Wienert.
However the flower shape is very much kentuckiense - see the overhanging dorsal and long droopy petals.
What do you know of the origin of the plant?

Fantastic plants everyone! Fortunately not too many should be growable here in Spain.
Hope those will like it for a longer period of time.
