formosanum

[labskaus]

first Cyp of the year,

this formosanum is in flower for ten days or so. My second plant just opens its flower today. Both are pot plants in my GH. This is my favourite Cyp species.

Yes, the pouch has a dent, unfortunately.

Cheers, Carsten

The dent is minor..you bloomed it!

Easiest Cyp species to grow and bloom. And quite warm-tolerant :wink:

:drool: OH NO - don't tempt me! I love that stam! :clap:

One of my favorites too. Being outside, mine won't flower for another 6 weeks though. Thanks for the preview.

BTW, where do you live?

BTW, where do you live?

52° 12' N, 10° 43' E That's Northern Germany. The hills where I live were once home of Cyp calceolus.

Cheers, Carsten

I can't believe it's warm enough or the time for formosanum to be blooming, especially in northern Germany!!???

Amazing flower!!! Dent is minus indeed!!!! Funny to hear that it is the easiest Cyp to grow!!! It is said to be one of the most difficult!!! WOW!!!

 

[SlipperFan]

Gorgeous! I used to have one in my backyard here in Queens (Z.7)..came up and bloomed very well for a few years, then declined and disappeared....oh well. Take care, Eric

I actually made a comparative shot of my two formosanums when they were in flower. This is the first year I actually noticed visible differences between different clones of the species. I always thought they look all the same.

best wishes,

Nice to see such variation. Mine didn't flower this year

 

[SlipperKing]
