Cyps are starting to bloom here

I went for a walk in a site near home today. I'll go back with a better lens later and get more shots. There are thousands of plants in this site.

Thank you NYEric, this is a great resource. I'm new to the hobby (2 years) but definitely have the bug.

In general or at this time of year? We are in zone three, cold winters -30C as an infrequent but expected low. Quite a bit of snow. Temperate summers infrequently above 30C, usual around 22C. Usually a fair amount of rain until mid August then fairly dry through the fall. The cyps are a bit early this year. We had lot of snow and a late spring but it has been warmer than average for the last month 15 C at night, 25 C during the day. The cyps are not common here but you do find occasional good populations. I know of three relatively large population within 30 km of my house and several smaller one. There are more common 150 km south in sandier soils it seems.

No, I mean now. The weather here has been relatively crazy and I don't know what plants are going to do. Has it been warm for this time of year for you?

You should post a little info about yourself and your Slipper orchid hobby activity.
