Noticed this morning that these are just beginning to bloom here in my N. Virginia garden. This is one of two clumps that I have, now in their 3rd year, and both have increased in size every year. Once planted, I've given them no special care.
Cypripedium parviflorum var. pubescens 2015

Mature growth?
They look great. Nice healthy clumps.
Mine are about 1-2 weeks behind
Yes, a healthy rabbit population and some deer, but thankfully they don't touch these.
Great. I will try to plant them in my yard. Thanks for the info.

Deer will eat Cyp. Parviflorum. I had some wild plants I was watching a couple of Springs back. They had already developed buds and when I went to check to see if they were blooming yet I found nothing but stubs. They did, however, bloom again last year.
That's what I am afraid of. I will have to do some protection then.
I use tomato cages to protect my cyps from the neighbor's cats.

Looking very good. What compost do you have them planted in?
Native soil top dressed with composted leaves.
