    Cypripedium broken dormancy? Safe for fall planting?

    I have some new green noses above ground also. Like Dido said wait to cover them after it frosts as they will rot.

Acaule does not like to be disturbed. All mine are getting ready to go dormant just...

    What Cyps are you growing? You will have to give it a try. You can also ask Ron (here on forum) from Gardens at Post Hill in vendor section. Before I got the turface/ soil protector I was using small size diatomite & that seems to work well too.

    Cypripedium potting media

    If I remeber correctly they are not an acid lover so I would use some leaf mulch. If you have a good wooded area you can dig alittle of the topsoil from there to use in the mix. Beign that they are seedlings I would use very little in the mix, as you can get 4-5 seedlings in a 5" deep pot. Soil...

    Cypripedium potting media

    With me I also use tuface/ soil perfector, but I also mix in some light potting soil/compost depending on species & size/maturity of the plants. I will use either pine duft (acid lover acule) or oak leaves mix (parvi var. pubescense). Perlite should help it, But I found that it is very light &...

    Foxes

    They are pretty fun to watch. I would sit on the porch and watch them. It is getting time for mom to kick the pups out on their own now. I only see 1 or 2 everycouple of days now. Coyotes are a rare sight here but they are around. There was a sighting of a mountain lion on a farm about 10 miles...

    What would I get from this cross? (leucochilum)

    The flowers look good. So I would think it would be an irntermediate cross. Some would be more color, some would be longer flower spike, & some might be inbetween!! But it is a good cross either way!!
