How are those buds doing Fren? Were you at the meeting today? Shawn Hillis came up with quite a selection of Cyps!

I think he was making sad sounds about having to study for an exam...they will probably turn to full-fledged sobs when he reads your post. :evil:

I'm studying for exams too but I would never miss a chance to buy orchids! I guess I'm bad. :evil:

I sure did! Check out my post under "Collections"!

yup she's in bloom...and I couldn't bring it! I got stuck at the Cameron library :sob:
few days later:

and this evening:

Emil smells like jasmine. Much lighter than my pubescens outside. I wonder how much the petals elongate, or if they are done.

 

[parvi_17]

It's gorgeous! I bet you're excited. When it comes down to it, I think Cyps are probably my favs...it's just easy to forget about them because their season is so short!

 

[smartie2000]

Thanks, They sure do make me happy though....I think I am becoming a cyp. addict

Cyps are what got me into orchids - they are addictive .

I do wonder how low humidity can Cypripediums handle? Just because my windowsill will likely have lower humidity than my grow room

Well I have read sources that say Cyps need high humidity...but think about how dry the air is outside here most of the time...in the 30-50% range during the day most of the time I bet, though higher at night and when it rains obviously. I never worry too much about it when I am growing inside and I've never had any problems.

I still have a couple exams left too . Almost over though!

Nice one Fren!
I just love the yellow, so bright, so cheerful It always make me happy to see a Cyp flower.

Cyp Emil

Here`s mine been in flower now for 2 weeks

 

[SlipperFan]

That is quite a display, Mark! And welcome to Slippertalk!

 

[smartie2000]

:drool:beautiful display mark! I see some stems holding two blooms. I do hope mine grows that big one day.
How wide is the pot? and do you know how many years you had it?

the petals did grow longer on mine.

 

[Jorch]

wow! That's quite a display. :clap:

 

[NYEric]

Nice, welcome from NYC. R U N Canada also?

 

[parvi_17]

Awesome plant Mark. I too would like to know how old it is!

 

[KyushuCalanthe]

Very nice Mark! I'd guess your plant can't be that old - another reason to grow some of the hybrids - VIGOR!
