Spring weather is finally here in New Jersey and I have unpacked my ‘bagged’ perennial collection from their winter storage in the shed.
My potted Cypripedium acaule are starting to emerge and so far one looks like it will be blooming.

I bought a bunch of nivale but they all turned it to be pusillum. I already had 50 pusillum. It’s on my “Plants to Acquire” list again.

There are about 25 acaule in these boxes... 6 have emerged so far.

My Cypripedium John Haggar went from 1 growth last year to 5 growths this year.

Yes... 2019 Paph Forum. I grow in large terra-cotta pots. 50% Turface/50% Espoma Soil Mender. The biggest problem I have here in South Jersey is the heat and humidity in the middle of the summer. Last year was s bad one. They would probably do better in the ground but I’m not where I can do that at the moment.
 
I admire your efforts with acaule and the trillium look
wonderful. What'cha gonna do with all those plants?
I’m temporarily living in NJ. When done here they will all go in the ground... when I figure out where we’re moving to.
