I tried to cultivate this species several times, but never succeeded. This species seems to be very dependent on mycorrhizal fungi, which protect the plant from infections. It seems to be the same problem as with Cypripedium subtropicum.

What we need is 5 kg of substrate with mycorrhiza fungi from the original location where the species grows. The first step is to propagate the fungus, which could be extremely time-consuming if it is an ectomycorrhizal fungus

Annica, Werner Frosch had a different intention. He wanted to produce robust garden Cypripedium for selling. Hybrids are more robust than wild species normally and he selected robust individuals. Some wild species are extremely dependent of mycorrhiza fungi in germination as well as in...

Annica, we knew each other. We had a lot of Discussions . The passion of Werner Frosch was hybrids, I'm only interested in pure wild species.

That is the point, Annica. Many orchids are self-sterile. This means that pollen from another plant with a different genetic basis is needed for fertilization. Therefore, long-lived colonies cannot consist of plants from a single clone. My rebunense was self-sterile also and I could not get...

Tom, the background is not a philosophical discourse, but the question is if there are faults in the culture or in weather. I have an influence on the culture, but not on the weather. I'll leave that to the other Germans in the world.

Here is the color of the first flower in May 2016. I think it's one of the 50 shades of Yellow. The albino form is different.

Are the large clumps formed by generative propagation or by vegetative propagation? This is a big difference in relation to the normal life expectancy of this species.

It had a yellow flower, it was not an albino with a white flower. As I've heard, albinos of rebunense are supposed to really exist, but I'm unsure.

Yes, but what is the normal life expectancy? Do you really have to be disappointed or is it the normal way of life?

Tom, unfortunately no, the plant was seen alive for the last time in April 2020. I don't know what the normal life expectancy of this plant species is.

My rebunense from Hokkaido in Nov. 2011

The second seedling is more like the mother with her white and pink

Unfortunately, I only saw photos of this hybrid Fumi's Delight with Paphiopedilum armeniacum as the mother. But I also see no difference to the flowers of my plants.

baby plant from Claus, items from both parents: For more details, please have a look here :Paphiopedilum armeniacum und micranthum x armeniacum - Seite 6

Yes, I am very excited, because it seems to be the first cross between these two species in the universe with micranthum as the mother . :)

Here the micranthum x armeniacum Baby The color of the lip is inherited from the father, not from the mother
