I live in the Seattle area where most years the temperatures stay cool. I do have a bed with Cyp Sabine and Cyp formosanum that get about 3 hours of full sun every day beginning around 11 am from late April-September - all the other beds are much more shaded. For several years of typical...

Cyp subtropicum is a dream plant for Cyp growers. Years ago, I, like many others, was able to obtain some seed which germinated but the seedlings never thrived in flask and I lost them. A couple of years ago Wenqing Perner offered deflasked seedlings. The seedlings were of excellent quality...

I have grown Cyp's in very hot summer temperatures in Connecticut - every year a few days over 100 F. The albaflora Cyp reginae clump at the top of the Cypripedium sales page at gardensatposthill.net was next to a stone wall facing due West and its oak tree shading was lost when the oak fell...

Beautiful! I have only seen these one time and the coloration of the flowers was magnificient. I have always wished I could get my hands on some seed as most Platanthera are pretty easy to grow from seed. Ray Price in Ohio has raised many thousands of Platanthera. I dont know if he is doing...

Here is Cyp Anita that I purchased from Anthura last year. It is a hybrid of Cyp formosanum and californicum. Like all formosanum hybrids I have seen the leaves are quite wide although without the formosanum pleats. Also, like all formosanum hybrids, the flowers are essentially identical to...

I purchased two of Wenqing Perner's new hybrid, Huanglong Love (xventricosum x tibeticum) a few months ago. A lovely complex hybrid of (calceolus x macranthos) x tibeticum. I am told that these two plants are pod siblings - certainly xventricosum is quite varied in its clones - solid red...

Love Lady Dorine! One of my favorites.

Yet another potted beauty! Extremely good husbandry for a species that is far from the easiest to grow.

Very nice Sabine! Congratulations for such long term success in a pot in a hot summer climate!

Hi, This is Ron Burch from Gardens at Post Hill. We did not have a Spring list this year for a couple of reasons. First, with so many people at home, last year was a banner year (in speaking to others who sell Cyp's it was a banner year for everyone in the US, Europe and Asia) and I sold out...

I received some subtropicum seedlings in 2019 from Hengduan - a few are still alive. I also received some in Fall 2020. They are extremely nice quality seedlings - now to figure out how to keep them alive long enough to bloom!

These are really lovely flowers! I havent kept Calopogon in years but you are tempting me again.....

Glad you made it through in good shape!

I am always happy when these bud, I have two of them. I know the flowers will be great every year. Very similar to the tiny jewel flowers of montanum but with somewhat lighter sepals. A real joy to view.

Easier than any shanxiense I have had. Having said that I have never received shanxiense in excellent condition, even from Anthura. They just don’t seem to ship well. Schoko is similar to calceolus in ease of maintenance.

Cyp Schoko is another favorite. Each year the flower quality among my plants varies. For whatever reason this is a banner year (rain was typical - a lot! but the winter temperatures were somewhat colder more often than usual. We had a 24 F night and a few in the upper 20s). Here are flowers...

My all time favorite hybrid Cyp flower is xcolumbianum (natural hybrid of montanum and parviflorum pubescens; Mother Nature does a very good job. This particular specimen, in my "show bed" has highly twisted sepals very much like its montanum parent. The flower is about 3 times the size of...

Hi, Phred, somehow I missed your question about flashing Cyp acaule. I would be happy to do it, l have flasked several acaule pods. Best, RON Burch

Where I am, summer temps are usually in the 70s with a very few days in the 80s and 1 or 2 days at 90. Nights tend to be in the low 50s with a few reaching 60. In winter our days are usually in the upper 30s to mid 40s. Nights in the 20s are relatively few, usually a bit above freezing. We did...
