Nice twist to the petals. Cyps are just starting here in MD

Do you have this one growing directly in your garden or
potted and then set out? I want desperately to grow a
few Cyps. and this one just might grow outside here if it
does in MD. It's lovely.

Columbianum

Jason,
Nice flower but my first instinct was that it was wrong.
If you google for photos of this natural hybrid they are pretty much all white pouched with a varying depth of brown in the petals.
I think this plant may be something else.
Regards,
David

David you are correct. This is actually Hank Small.

I have this out in the garden actually one of the ones not potted up and directly in the ground.

May I ask where you purchased it? How did you prepare
the soil? I have a shade garden of hosta and ferns and
this Hank Small would just fit in nicely for some color.

I bought this one from hillside. The soil mix is some soil perfector (an expanded shale) as a base and then a mix of native soil and sand around the base. At his point it is probably growing roots out I to the native soil which has a good deal of composted leaf matter in it.
