cyps in pots 2013

A couple more this week.
First is Dietrich (kentuckiense x calceolus), a vigorous grower with two flowers on most growths.
Next is flavum album - a small plant just over 6 inches high with a very pretty flower.
The leaves are almost furry with the amount of hairs,

Dietrich sure puts on a show and flavum album is a beauty what an achievement.
cheers

It's too dark for good photos, but because I have never time... Cypripedium californicum and one of dutch hybrid "Kentucky Pink" (I have a few version what this could be).

David, the flavum is spectacular .... all your plants  look so extraordinarily healthy ....

Hi,
thanks for the comments.
Kris, the Kentucky pink looks like Philipp.
Last two for this year.
The reginae also enjoyed last summer.
Much bigger this year with some stems with two flowers.
The plant is now much taller (about 2 feet) and has stems with 7 leaves,
other species/hybrids tend to have 3-5 leaves.
Kentuckiense has also doubled in size. Also with one stem with two flowers.
It really is a spectacular species but nowhere near as tall as reginae.
This clone is nearer 15 inches high.
Regards,

David
