These are the seedlings I ordered from Ron this spring!!!! There should be 5 seedlings in each pot except the cyp. macranthos has 2 pots with 2-3 in it.

Cyp. Reginae alba

Cyp. Franchetti

Cyp. Fasciolatum

Cyp. Macranthos (2 pots)

Bonus Cyp. kentuckiense from E-Bay

Doing well! Unfortunately all the macranthos seedlings I got from Ron died. They all came up, expanded, then wilted and kicked. Oh well......

Hi, Guys,

If macranthos (or any other Cyp or plant for that matter) seedling comes up and then wilts and falls over it is nearly always "damping off" or similar fungus. The media may not be draining well or if they are outside there might be too much rain. In rainy conditions I find that if I drench the seedlings once a week with Physan 20 at 1 teaspoon per gallon survival is nearly 100%. We get a lot of rain here in CT in May when seedlings come up so I usually use a good bit of Physan - with Cyps and other seedlings like hepatica and so forth.
