Cyp. parviflorum v. pubescens in flower today!
While this plant is no big deal, every Cyp flowered here is cause for celebration. One reason is that I love Cyps. Another is that getting them to grow and flower in this climate is a challenge, even the "easy" species like this one. A similar climate in the US would be Charleston, SC - too hot for most Cyps. This plant has been grown now for two seasons. It was bought as a near adult seedling with one growth and no flower the first year. Hopefully it will continue to thrive and maybe even expand this year. Yippie, I'm so happy!
