Cypripedium calceolus in the Achental

[ORG]

In the day before yesterday I had the possibility to visit a habitat of the slipperorchids in Unterwössen . Today I had the time to visit another habitat in the Achental in Schleching in South-Bavaria in Germany.
The plants were full in flower and without seeking I saw more than 100 plants of Cypripedium calceolus in flower. Nearby it will be very easy to find some hundreds more.

Like always I found also a flower with a Misumena vatia.

Some days ago also very attractive near to my home
Iris sibirica full in bloom.

Best greetings

Olaf

Olaf,

I believe we met at the AOS party during the Miami WOC festivities a few years ago. I admit, at the time, I wasn't interested in Paphs or Phrags and wasn't aware of your body of work. I do remember, however, liking the jacket you were wearing!

Do you come to the U.S. often? How close to Munich are you? I occasionally get to Munich, my favorite city in Europe, and if you were close I'd love to come visit, assuming you like visitors.

Thanks again for the photos!

Wonderful place that you live Olaf - very green and alive.

It is interesting to see how exposed their habitat is to the sun and elements. What is the elevation there? You must have cool summers.
