JPMC, what soil you grow that acaule in. 4 years is pretty good for an acaule.

THis is one of the C. rebunense we imported in Nov. 2011. It is now planted in my garden. My second plant is still in a pot for security. I believe it will bloom next year, at least I hope.

Does anyone grow Cyp montanum and if yes, do you fertilize? With what?

The best segawai plant I have seen so far. Congratulation.

Dodidoki, some very good looking cyps. They are already growing well. Where do you live and what soil/ substrat are you using? Gerhard

Hakone, the plants you will get are not the plants in the picture. That picture doesn't belong to the person that is selling the plants. It is true that the plants in the picture are C. himalaicum. Since you know the seller have him give an assurance that in fact the plants he sells on ebay are...

I don't believe the plants offered on ebay are true C. himalaicum. They are all offerd by chinese dealers, but are not true C. himalaicum. I know of no one in Europe that grows C. himalaicum and I believe it is not in cultivation there. I agree that just about all the imported plants are...

I am trying to find out information on Cypripedium himalaicum. C. himalaicum is being offered by some chinese dealers, but the plants they offer are not C. himalaicum. I have talked to numerous people around the globe, experts, but nobody has any information on that cypripedium. In 2000 there...

Thank you Eric. They are presently out of stock like all the other nurseries as well.

I am looking for a plant/plants of this California native. Only one nursery in California offers this plant, however they do not mail order. Any help is appreciated. Seed would also be appreciated Thank you Gerhard

Looks like not too many people are growing this one.

What's a 'normal soil' and what is' roof soil'. Dido, there are a 100 cyp mixes floating around, specifics please. Minor alterations can make the difference.

We all know that C. arietinum is probably the most difficult one to grow. Is there anyone that has attempted to grow it and how successful have you been? I am interested to get a short history on success/failure on that plant.

Dido, very nice. Indeed rare. What soil are you growing it in?

Cyp wardii

My wardii is still doing fine. I hope it will bloom next year.

Is anyone growing Cyp californicum outside in zone 6? If yes how successful are you?

This is a wrong conclusion by Hakone. These plants were propagated by a Japanese nursery in vitro and therefore has nothing to do with a natural habitat in northern Japan.

No I don't, other than Bertold did something that the rebunense didn't like.Berthold is a very experienced grower and only he can guess what went wrong since I don't know his growing condition.

Jerry I liked your movie. Can you tell us more about the soil you are using? I caught - grit and sand. What material is your organics?
