Hi, Linus, I like your white Ulla! I think I have some that look very similar to regular reginae (I usually cull them but believe there are a couple as examples of the other look). My Ulla's are still several weeks from blooming - around June 1st usually. I will send you picks of the flowers...

Extremely valuable image! Thank you for posting. Ron

I do still have Princess. She always looks happy as a plant and blooms roughly every fourth year. I pollenated some reginae (normal color and album) with lichiangense last week. I will see if I get anything. I should also have pollenated lichiangense with reginae pollen but I don't dare...

These are in the Pacific NW - sit in pots all winter on top of a raised bed getting soaked and in the summer get a sprinkler every day for 5 minutes. I got some micranthum last Fall that are also in pots and doing well. They did not bloom this spring but they are pretty tiny (six of them in...

They are in the Seattle area garden and are growing like weeds - but then so are macranthos and tibeticum. The area seems like Cyp heaven, even all the water in Winter - I have just kept the pots sitting out all winter long on top of one of the raised beds so they get soaked. Since the area...

The GPH Fall Cyp list is available at www.gardensatposthill.net - we have some nice plants this years, including a couple of our own registered hybrids. Ron

This is Cyp Eurasia. The hybrid has been around a long time, having been registered by Nakamura in 2005. I have imported specimens for three years now (originated with Anthura) but the first two years I sold all of them without keeping one. Last Fall I received more and only sold three so I...

I have historically had a lot of problems keeping this species alive. I now have two of them that have bloomed more than once before dying. Here is the senior one, in bloom now. This is its third year in bloom (I have managed to keep it alive for four years having gotten it as a mature plant...

Is that a marsh marigold?

Sry nice color on those Barry Phillips flowers. Mine tend to more pastel. I need to show my plants your pictures!

Outstanding flowers! Congratulations on excellent growing.

Keep that plant alive! It is priceless! Congratulations!

I agree with Tom that this is tibeticum and that it will color up more with a calm year. Do watch it in the refrigerator to make sure it comes out when it breaks dormancy. Holger's seed grown tibeticum are remarkable!

I was very surprised at how fast blooming of acaule from seed occurred. A few years ago I sent some seed from plants that grow in the woods behind my house to a person who has no acaule at his location. He had inquired if I sold seedlings of acaule. I told him that I sow the seed in the duff...

Very exciting! I hope to see good progress!

As Tom noted, I follow a colony of plants, about 300, in NW CT. In typical years about 5% of flowers result in pods. I have hand pollinated and get 100% set with those. Another experiment has been to spread the seed around over an area of about one square meter. This has resulted in dozens...

Those are very nice parviflorum var. makasin (per Sheviak). They have a strong "sweet" odor very early in the morning. When I was growing them in my basement light garden, when in bloom the scent was so strong when I went down at 6 AM to check on things, it was almost nauseating. A favorite...

Thank you for the description of your growth conditions. I too have several of Holger's farreri which he brought to the US in 2015. Yours look quite wonderful! I would also appreciate an image of your growing setup, although your description was detailed enough that I have a mental image...

My reginae vary a lot from year to year in pouch color. A number of years ago there were several genetics studies done that demonstrated temperature sensitivity in the expression of proteins that are involved in synthesis of the pigments. In the album forms there were two different mutations...

Sorry, above, where is says "3/" it was supposed to say "3/8"
