Cyp farreri

[cypris]

I do have some orchids in the garden - many nice Cypripediums and this is one of them - it has been grown outside form more than 15 years and it is surely nice. Covered it with glass during winters in some years but the last 3 it has been standing without any protection. It is planted in nearly only lime and some ordinary soil - has some shadow from a Helleborus but direct sun - this year it started grwoing in may and started flowering for a week ago - 4 nice flowers - I use some of them for pollination with Cyp regina - but as I understood it is not always easy to raise them from seeds. Lets say other Cyps are easier. Anyway one of my nice one.:wink:

I hope you have a picture - we don't see this one much.

I assume you mean grass, not glass, right?

How much lime do you use in the soil?

Where are you? What zone?

 

[NYEric]

I don't see any cyps!

Cypripedium farreri

This is my garden, my flower Cypripedium farreri. Great.

Can you make it BIGGER?

 

[KyushuCalanthe]

It is lovely to be sure. A rare plant even in its native lands.

Thanx for posting the "clickable" image. I can't believe that's 15 years worth of growth!! Good Job keeping it alive. Is there a way you can propagate it?

oh,No, at present, we do not have that means of communication.

 

[NYEric]

That's too bad. There are a few labs here that specialise in cyp propagation.

I hope they will do a great job! ! !
This is my shot in the wild Cypripedium himalaicum, I think this is a variant.
Cool

 

[SlipperFan]

Oh, that is sweet!

 

[NYEric]

Fantastic. I hope Ron Birch and the people from Vermont Ladyslipper are seeing these!

hey,
its funny.
always the same "himalaicum" pics from China.

That is what I see for many many years now from all those "China sellers"
they always "discover" new variants to promote the business.

For sure it is NOT the true Cypripedium himalaicum

for me it is nothing but a "normal" C. tibeticum.............

not all the Cyps growin in the himalayan area are himalaicums.....

some nice pics of the true species can be seen on the web site of Mr. Werner Frosch,
http://www.w-frosch.de/Cypris/Arten/himal.htm
and you must state, that they look VERY DIFFERENT .

as far as I know,
grows the true species ONLY in the India parts of Himalaya.
but NOT IN CHINA

Yes, I visited his website.
In my opinion, I was not Cypripedium himalaicum, but my friends think it is.
The Cypripedium only 10cm high, leaves very hard, I believe it is not tibeticum.
