Here are some Cyp's blooming this season for the first time for me:
Cyp. Victoria, a nice, large flower contributed by the fasciolatum parent
Cyp Inge, another with fasciolatum parentage. I had several of these bloom for the first time this season and flower size was quite variable. This is one of the largest, although not as large as Victoria
Cyp franchetti; I have been growing several seedlings and this is the first to bloom
Cyp (Provisional: GPH Crimson Promise). This is Cyp Gisela x Cyp Maria. We have submitted registration for this name. A very pretty flower, small like both of its parents on a mid-size plant
Cyp (Provisional: GPH Tom Velardi). This is Cyp macranthos alba x Cyp Sabine. We have submitted registration for this name. The flower is huge, just under 10 cm from sepal tip to sepal tip and this is its first time blooming. We chose a very large, attractive flower in honor of Tom who has done so much to popularize Cypripedium keeping, both on the front lines and behind the scenes putting growers together. The flower is larger than Victoria, much larger than Inge, larger than all of my fasciolatum and larger than all of my Sabine with the exception of the oldest plant - its flower is a couple of mm larger than Tom, but Tom should be a growing boy for at least a couple of years.
Should have a few additional first-timers over the next couple of weeks. One bud looks very interesting -
