Title: Epipactis 2012
Post by: fredg on July 29, 2012, 01:35:20 PM

Ooops I seem to have skipped this topic so far this year.

A couple that have already flowered Epipactis gigantea and Epipactis royleana.

One in flower at the moment Epipactis palustris.

I made a comment last year about this one

The second to flower.
This is multiplying steadily but I must get another clone one day.

Well I did and they do look different, I suppose I'll have to start looking for others now  ;D

I grow over ten species of Epipactis myself, find them very easy and somewhat weedy in places. Do you grow this yellow form of E. thunbergii

And your splendid E. palustris and E. royleana has a hybrid, this is it.  I think E. royleana is the seed parent x E. palustris the pollen barer.
