The Troy Meyers Conservancy is currently attempting to germinate seed from my plants. Their web page for this seed is: https://lab.troymeyers.com/flasking/item.php?kind=flask&id=TN7707

This is only a testing-the-waters post. I'm considering making a small number of my cypripedium montanum plants available for sale. Either nothing may come of this idea, or I'll (hopefully) make someone happy. What I have is 195 wild-growing montanum on my 20-acre property in south-central...

I found two phantom orchids this summer (Cephalanthera austiniae) on our property. Never saw them here before; hope they appear next year as well. Here is the info from http://www.wanativeorchids.com/Cephalanthera%20austiniae/ Cephalanthera austiniae or Phantom Orchid is a very rare...

Here are photos of the clumps of cypripedium montanum on our property. The plants are nearly all in bloom now (some are too young to have flowers) but I'm posting these to help people identify immature and pre-blooming plants.

>>>This is an update with new images, posted May 24, 2013. A new search and careful count has revealed 182 lively plants in 36 clumps. A recent conversation with a wildlife biologist has changed my beliefs: she said that the cyps are thriving on my property not despite my thinning efforts of the...

This post refers to the wild-growing C. montanum that I've mentioned elsewhere on Slippertalk. I have decided to undertake a project that I've thought of for years: Make a photographic record of the growth of my cyps and, now that I've discovered Slippertalk, share the photos. Several questions...

These are pictures of montanum growing wild on our property. They have been here at least since 1999 when my wife first noticed them (I have lived on these 20 acres since 1988). A photo of the main "patch" (there are 13 of them). Each red flag is a clump of plants: New...

I am new to Slippertalk, haven't even looked around yet. Over the next few days and weeks I'll read lots and maybe even contribute. I'm a retired 64-year old man who had little interest in plants (except my forest trees) until about 2007. Since then I've "come alive" to the possibilities of...
