Photo taken today. This is the first Cyp calceolus I've had and I'm very pleased with it.

It is looking really good, Dave..... now you have to grow it for fifty years and get it to make a clump like Hans Hoeller has in his garden in Austria  8)

It is a two nose plant allready. It was a better picture for a close up just showing one flower. Does this mean I only have to wait 25yrs now instead of 50 for a nice clump ;D

Lovely portrait of a beautiful plant Dave. My main clump, coming up for 10 years old, has suffered as I suspect the builders stood on it before I covered it with an empty hanging basket? Only 8 shoots this year and they look to have some damage? :'(

Amazing plants boys. Are none of these hardy for troughs or beds?

Hi Hans, great pictures and so many different types. Could you possible put some names to them for me? The Cyp plectrochilum must have been a difficult one to photograph as I'm not sure people realise how small the flower is. I've got a couple which will be in flower shortly and getting that close is going to be difficult for me with a standard lens. Whats the spotted Cyp as it looks similar to one I've got which I now believe to be fargesii?

That's a fantastic clump you've got there as well - what are they?

Please keep on posting more photo's, you've made my day.

All cyps are totally hardy but must never dry out. The others need a totally dry summer rest and are winter green. You can see the difference between the two forms of tibeticum by comparing Dave's with Johannes' plant. I much prefer yours Dave. Mine, in the garden, is still only a 1 cm shoot poking through the ground.

Hi Hans

The first time I viewed them the names were not showing for some reason when the page loaded up. I thought it was strange you didn't put them on. Must have been a problem with the page but all seems OK now.

keep them coming.
