At least you have a blooming cyp!
Never looked at it that way lol!My Cyp pubescens were too close to the edge of the flower bed.They always managed to catch hell from the weedeater.I moved them back from the edge so they're safe.Not sure what happened to my other acuales.They must be taking taking this year off,or one of the local rodents got them.

Very Nice!! Mine are coming up now, I don't know if they will bloom this year or not as they are around 4 years old. I am hoping for at least 1 to bloom for the pollen..
Impressive!
Ours are still sleeping in the woods. We are unable to grow them in the garden but we are lucky to have hundreds of them in our woodlot.
Interesting thing: almost 1/3 of the plants here have white flowers.

My acaule's are emerging in Cutchogue...pubescens, kentuckiense, and reginae in Queens. Hopefully all the new sunlight since the tornado will help them bloom better.

Is that the sequel to A Tree Grows in Brooklyn?
Very lovely species. Now if it were just a bit easier to grow. If I had access to them, I'd focus on crossing this one onto the spotted leave species of western China - that would have to produce interesting results.

Till now the crosses of the chinese 2 leaves are not very succefull.
Have some young plants of princess made by Mr. Frosch.
Started growing well.
The Acaule is mostly over with bloom till the other start. And Acaule is easier to cultivate than the 2 bigger 2 leav kinds, maybe we should try to cross it to bardolphilum or micranthum. Will try it.

Acaule is very easy to grow and can stand all kinds of subtrate if You adjust the pH-value between 3.5 and 4.5 by any kind of organic acids.

Maybe for you! I'm obviously not worthy
IMO NOT an easy species at all unless local soil conditions are what it likes or you want to dose with organic acids (vinegar being the easiest and cheapest) every time you water.
Right, not every time but every 10. time. Vinegar is very fine, not toxic and always available.
You can be lucky if You have an acid soil but if not You have a very high infection risc without reducing the pH-value down to about 4 or little below.
