wonderful...maybe spring is really here

 

[Heather]

Ahh, a sure sign spring is on the way!

 

[SlipperKing]

Hakone, what are you growing in? It looks like small rocks and broken tooth picks:wink:

 

[kentuckiense]

Cyp. micranthum?! Very impressive.

 

[mccallen]

Looks like it might be macranthum, no?

You are growing outside? Should I take mine out of the refrigerator now?!?

 

[moraru]

Mine are outside - don't usually come up until late april, early may in long island, ny!

 

[fundulopanchax]

A nice start! Many of my refrigerated plants are beginning to break dormancy but outside we have about another month - the ground is still frozen!

Best,

Ron Burch

I took my acaule out this AM, they were coming up about 1-1/2". Where are my baby reginae? :sob:

Don't worry Eric, they are naturally late starting.

 

[NYEric]

Thanx, I was afraid they'd died.

 

[KyushuCalanthe]

Thanx, I was afraid they'd died.

As Sioux warriors used to cry when going into battle, "Take heart, it's a good day to grow!" My C. formosanum seedlings are just starting to sprout now. Yippie! Cyp season is almost here!

 

[shakkai]

Went out to the greenhouse to check on my Cyp. calceolus. The larger growth is now about 9 inches tall! Too bad they are saying there is a possibility of snow... here.... this weekend!!

 

[NYEric]

Doesnt your greenhouse have a roof?!

 

[shakkai]

:rollhappy: Yes, it does. But I've been waiting patiently to put this outside - its not a permanent greenhouse resident. Looks like I've still got some weeks to wait until the weather actually feels like Spring.

So, does everyone else put their's out for the summer? Or do you all keep them in the greenhouse all year?

 

[NYEric]

Yeah I put all my stuff outside the greenhouse! oke:

Speaking of snow...

I grow parviflorum outdoors and I just did some bed renovating / enrichment which required digging up and replanting the rhizomes. It seemed like they were breaking dormancy, but I had to do what I had to do. Now (just this evening), Mother Nature decided it was time for a snowstorm

. So much for Spring Break.
