My 2010 cypripediums

[Maggi Young]

I never noticed it before  either, David.... I think Fast Fred has been at it again!!

I still have some of my larger plants, so I may have to split them, but the clumps are quite tight and the roots criss-cross so I will try to unthread them?

If anyone is interested in any of my remaining cyps email me for a list.

Anthony,

I am interested in your list of Cyps.

Cheers,

[Anthony Darby]

Garden under 2 feet of snow so the remaining cyps remain there for the time being. Once I've sent John his I'll put the rest on Ebay.

I just wish my two would bulk up so I can worry about dividing. My reginae has never flowered. Akai flowers OK. Both have only single stems since I got them 5 or 6 years ago. Both are in the ground.

I just looked up my photos. I took a photo of Aki pale form in 2005 so I must of bought it in 2004. It either came from Ebay or Rare Plants

Only 6 or 7 years to produce huge clump of 'Emil' from a very small plant.

Anthony,

I've had Cypripedium 'Emil' for three years now but it stays a one-flower stalk plant...so I must be doing something wrong... I grow mine outside in shade in leafy soil. How do you grow them?

[Anthony Darby]

Wim, I grow it in full sun, but that's full shade in Scotland! It doubles in size every year. I use my 80% inorganic mix in a very large hole, but the roots spread into the surrounding loam.
