Sarmieata, your little ferny grotto looks amazing...

thanks for showing 

[John Aipassa]

A few other Cyps flowering now:

1. Cypripedium 'Rascal'
2. Cypripedium parviflorum parviflorum. I also have parviflorum makasin but these need two more years before they start to flower.
3. Cypripedium candidum x kentuckiense
4. Cypripedium calceolus
5. Cypripedium x andrewsii different clump
6. and 7. are other 'Sebastian' forms starting to flower. Nr. 6. for the first time with two flowers. Nr. 7 looks a bit like the new hybrid
    'Lusarem'.

Cheers,

[Anthony Darby]

John, your cyps are doing really well. Lovely plants.

Indeed nice cypripediums John , the one ,s i like  Thanks John and stephen you like my  rocky " wild" garden.

[Anthony Darby]

Some of the hybrids are nice, but some are just a waste of a pot. I love montanum and tibeticum, but the hybrid is awful!

DONT BUY IT 

[John Aipassa]

Thanks Anthony and Sarmienta. Lost a couple newly planted Cyps this winter though  . Three roots systems completely turned to mush
And with this weird yo-yoing spring weather we had a few others aborted their flowers just before flowering  .

You paid money for it?  Anyone tried to import flasked seedlings to NZ? Shouldn't be a problem, except perhaps in the MAF imagination, as they are germinated on sterile media?

Losing plants is always sad. I did several times, but it was usually to wrong position, or not making sure the worms hadn't dragged clay in from the surrounding soil. I drenched the plants in fungicide to reduce that risk.

Hi Anthony,

Fortunately I don't have clay soil, but what's with the clay?
