Hey Dieter,

That Pixi however is a sad looking thing - too bad.............

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder ;-)

Give Pixi time, especially if this is a young one!
The flowers get alot darker as the plants get older.
Mine started off spotted with yellow and is now fully dark red/brown.
Same goes for the tibeticum x montanum hybrid.
I expect that to end up with solid chocolate petals and a dark purple lip,

Indeed! I've seen some pics of really dark ones recently and they look fabulous.

Your guttatum clump is really nice - how long have you grown that one? Is summer a bit too hot where you are, or are they OK most years? They look fantastic now.

Tom, this guttatum is about 5 or 6 years in my garden.
I bought it as "flw.size seedling" from a known nursery here,
the motherplant was imported from China /JiLin province
from a"well known China seller"

its growing in full sun and multiplied in that time from one
to fifteen stems with 5 flowers this year,
no problems with "central european heat " in summer.............

though, some "well educated" person say,
that is it "C. X alaskanum" oke:

cheers

More and more variety in Cyps!

 

[cyprimaniac]

hello friends,

I already thought it is dead, but I simply overlooked it,
because it is much smaller this year
and only one remaining plant with 2 shoots.

Cypripedium montanum

growing in sunken pot with "NZ sphagnum moss"
and coverd with pine bark, cultivated on the "dry side"

Cypripedium acaule in its 3rd year

this is the second registered passerinum hybrid.
not very showy with 50 cm stem and 5 cm flowersize,
but unique and rare

Cypripedium Rheinsberg Sparrow Egg

excellence Rheinsberg Sparrow, Thanks for sharing

my pleasure,
BUT what is your problem, Dr. Tai Do Khac,
owner of Hakone Gardens ? ?

 

[Hakone]

I've never seen a excellence Sparrow Rheinberg, like these, it is almost a duplicate of acaule. A masterpiece . What is the name of the formidable breeder ?

[KyushuCalanthe]

[cyprimaniac]

Love the white Ulla Silkens.

thank you Tom

 

[NYEric]

Nice, stay cool!

 

[Dido]

Love the plants,
Is it now Ulla white or prof. Robatsch.

 

[cyprimaniac]

Love the plants,
Is it now Ulla white or prof. Robatsch.

you can think what you want.................

but in fact there is no Hybrid "Prof. Robatsch" looking like this.

it was just "Ulla Silkens white cultivar" registered with the RHS "as...."
and could be seen on the breeders site.
but is nothing but a sellers tric I think............
or an mislabelling error in the lab

as my friend Svante M. told me,
about 10 % of the seedlings come out with white flowers,

I indeed I bought this as "selected Ulla Silkens white".


cheers

 

[monocotman]

the Ulla Silkens 'white' looks like it was made using the flavum 'alba' from that is currently available in Europe,
