Cyps in pots 2010

[monocotman]

Hi,
final new hybrid - Rascal(parviflorum x kentuckiense). This arrived from Austria early spring and has performed valiantly to put up a nice flower in the first year.
Only a weakish first year growth but the flower is full of character.Nice rich yellow lip and long twisting brown petals. Love it!
Regards,
David

In the sale it just said Cypripedium seedlings "lucky dip" named species/hybrid our choice £3.00. I bought two and got 'Sabine' and macranthos as tiny little yellow spidery seedlings about two inches across with a 5mm bud in the middle.

Well that was a great buy Anthony . I have only two plants in pots , but sadly mine were expensive.

Nice form of parviflorum Tony. Is it scented?

I've had this Cypripedium for a number of years now. It originally came labelled Cyp segawei, which it definitiely isn't, and I assume it's a hybrid. The nearest I can find on Frosch's website when looking through the pictures of the hybrids is Cypripedium Holger, a henryi x speciosum hybrid, but I really not that sure.
It flowers at about 40cms height, the flowers being 4-5cms across (measured across the lateral petals)

Does anyone have any idea what it might be?


After some further internet browsing in the name of research, I'm begining to think it's a form of Cyp. x ventricosum. There's certainly some Cyp. macranthos in there.

Anthony not that I can detect but it is cold and raining so not the best conditions.

Peter I have no idea but it is very nice.

At home I keep just a very few Cyps in pots. The following are currently in flower. These are about 4 years out of flask.

1. C. kentuckiense
2. C. reginae albolabellum
3. C. pubescens x montanum

Hi Paul

Nice shots of nice plants. I also have some of those reginae that should flower next year, fingers crossed they are the same as it's a super looking plant.

Hi Paul,
I really like the C. reginae albolabellum. I haven't seen or heard of it before.
