Cypripedium 2012

Unusual colour for tibeticum. I could never keep it, or flavum happy.

Hello,

I have been told that my light coloured tibeticum is in fact  franchetii because of its hairy ovarium!

Hi Shelagh,

you are fortunate indeed to see this wonderful clump of C. calceolus. A lot of effort is being put by The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and English Nature into re-introducing this species back into the British countryside.

Adrian from "orchidsbypost" ? ? ? ?

The file name on your photo is a bit of a giveaway.....

Oops, I've  fixed that!

As I explained to Ron it was a bit misleading as we drove a few miles and we had a native guide

[John Aipassa]

In comparison to Dieter's hybrid my montanum x reginae is a bit more like reginae.

These are indeed not spectacular but more delicately colored.

Cheers,

[goofy]

hey John,
its interesting too

Shelagh, is this a historical introduction from Europe, or one of the more recent British ones? There was such a plant near Carnforth that was vandalised a few years back, but survived.

[shelagh]

Anthony it is one of the Kew raised introductions and is monitored by local volunteers I think.  There was tape all round the area.  Several clumps but some had gone over. I'll post another clump.
