cypripedium in raised beds 2013

[johnw]

Going down to -12^oC would indicate fairly hardy, but how about winter wet?

Good point Anthony, the Borindas apparently do not like winter wet.  Maybe frozen wet is okay but -12c is no indication of any hardiness whatsoever for us.

Johnw,

I bought them from Jos van der Palen, http://www.kimmei.com/d.html. The plants are since 7 Years in the garden . I have in winter minus 7 to minus 12 degrees Celsius.

No better place on the planet.

Hakone, you are making us very envious!

Where do you buy the seedlings? Or do you raise them from seeds?

Hakone - do you want to show us all stages of growth of every Cypripedium in your garden??
