Tease!

Oh, so pretty!

Supposedly we put more of these in to the garden where I work this year, but I have yet to find them! Does anyone have a "normal" NE New England blooming time schedule for Cyps? That would be a good resource for our resource pages as I was debating it the other day with someone else from the forum.

Our yellows (var. pubescens and var. parviflorum) are in full bloom now and acaule seem to be as well but I'm not sure about the reginae and kentuckiense - when to look for them?

Thanks!

Nice photos and beautiful plant. Congratulations!

Looks good, this can't be one you grew from seed!

Hello Rick,
I plant 50 seedling cycle 3 from reginae forma album

[NYEric]

Nice. I'm guessing 'cycle 3' means 3 years growth from seed?

 

[Hakone]

Hello Eric,
Yes, sir

 

[NYEric]

OK. Then that's pretty good because usually they say 4-5 years to blooming size.

Very delicate!

 

[NYEric]

It wasn't clear that this isn't one of the albums. Looks good but small. How tall is the plant?

 

[Hakone]

30 cm

 

[NYEric]
