Gorgeous!

I love the white flavum better than the yellow. And the petals haven't reflexed (at least not yet?)

That tibeticum looks funny when it is stuck in the leaves. another beautiful one

C. tibeticum is one of my favorite species, alas I can't grow them in the blisteringly hot summers here in southern Japan. Ah well, yours look great!

Wow!!:clap::drool: Thanks for the pics! Is the Aki open yet?

OK, the Sabine is amazing! Does the "franchetii" have a pubescent ovary or is it smooth?

 

[Dido]

Your plants make me dreaming.

Just seen my fascicolatum make a lot of buds.
Hope my sabine gets this year the first flower, have here directly from Mr. Frosch.
Where are you located.

PS I really hope you post a picture of the ventricosum when in bloom.

Hello Tom,
no pubescent

 

[Kevin]

Thanks! Very nice! That Aki looks very much like a pure parviflorum var. pubescens to me. I'd like to see what it looks like fully open. Is this a new plant for you?

 

[KyushuCalanthe]

Hello Tom,
no pubescent

Then likely it is in fact C. tibeticum. The major distinction between these two species is that C. franchetii has a very pubescent ovary.

Keep the pics coming!

Man, it's a Cyp party over there!

 

[Kevin]

Ah yes, now the Aki is looking more like how it's supposed to. Very nice! How large are the blooms?

 

[SlipperFan]

I love the red edge on the pouch of the last one, but they are all beauties!
