Nice Cyps Goofy..is 30c unusual temperatures for this time of year? does it get higher? Looks like they are coping with it.

[goofy]

Stephen,
30 and over is for few days in the year only, but with global warming, the average will rise.

yes, they can stand that fairly well for some days.
most plants grow between bushes or north facing wall and rims  of bushes.

cheers

I think I remember the temperature reaching 30^oC in maybe only a couple of years in all the years living in Dunblane?

Dieter,

Your Rheinsberg Sparrow Egg is nice. A bit more pinkish in color in the pouch isn't it? Is it an easy hybrid? Scarce one too I believe. I haven't found any sources for it.

Only one Cyp still have to start to flower now in my garden and still waiting for it. It is the hybrid montanum x reginae.

Hot days are here too, fortunately some ending with heavy rain and thunder storms, so the plants get more than enough water and it cools down a bit in the night. The forecast for this Pentacostal weekend gives lovely temperatures of 20 to 25 degrees and sunny. Good for the plants and certainly good for me 

Cheers,

the flower "is fairly white"........
its easy, but not showy, the long stem, the little flower.
I bought it from the breeder, and registered it for him.
have never seen it for sale later.

my plant shows the little flower bud,
but with this heat it will open in the next days............

1.Emil
2.Gisella
3.It was supposwd to be Gisella Pastel
4.Cypripedium guttatum

[Maren]

Oleg,

your cypripedium guttatum is lovely, very dark in colour. Mine have just finished. It's a little warm in England for cypripediums.

[olegKon]

But C.formosanum, japonicum and Chinese species must benefit from your warm weather (esp. winter). Here,alas, they are not good growers.
This C.guttatum is from Altai and feels good forming loose clumps. You never know where shoots will turn out.

[Maren]

Oh, I didn't mean to say that it is too warm for cypripediums in England, just a little hot at the moment, where we are experiencing temperatures close to 30 degrees celsius. Leaves can flag a little during the day, but this can be managed by increasing shading and making sure they don't dry out.

Your comment on C. guttatum is encouraging. I grow mine in pots at the moment but will plant them out later, so that the rhizomes have freedom to move wherever they please.

Some lovely Cyps, there. Isnt it amazing the difference in these plants. I have some nice flowers out now. I can't believe that months ago mine were showing shoots and all of a sudden they slowed down. Oh well at least they have all survived and all looking good.
I just forget to take some photos, this heat is slowing me down.

Maren 30degrees it to hot for me. I just don't understand why people on the tv and obsessed with heat and want temperatures to be in the thirties or above, me and my plants struggle. 25 degrees is good for me. I felt like jumping in with my Koi yesterday, water was only 22 but polytunnel was reading 40. I need to find some sort of shading.

Cant find the little o for degrees on my mac.

Angie, don't you have the wee square, next to the moving <-M<- above the row of smileys with ^sup in it? Just click it and put "o" inside the brackets and you get ^o. Otherwise type sup inside square brackets followed by o and then /sup inside square brackets.

Hey Anthony you are not just a pretty face then Did it and previewed it and yes it works  Now I only have to remember this.
