Cyp.parviflorum

[tenman]

This has been open about a week, but by the time I get out there to shoot it, the sun is so bright there is no compensating for it.

Now if I could figure out why the kentuckiense hasn't come up yet.

It looks like a sister to mine (even the pic)! Ususally kentuckiense is a late grower, but if it hasn't shown at all, then there may be a problem. Still, since the reginae is up and flowering, then it is quite odd that kentuckiense hasn't shown at all. It has been a strange year for weather here and things are flowering at odd times. I'd give a little poke down there to see what's happening though.

Very nice -- so graceful.

Strange...my kentuckiense fully grown and its bud is maturing...reginae is still only 2 " tall...it had another growth but a squirrel took care of that............

Very nice! Does it have a fragrance? How large is the flower?

It does look very similar, however it looks to me like this one could be the smaller var. makasin or var. parviflorum. The pouch shape seems more like the smaller variety.
