hello,
the formosanums are over now,
but several others will come soon.

this is the first one to flower now,
2011 registered primary Hybrid,
made by famous Mr. Werner Frosch.

Cypripedium Schoko (C. calceolus X C. shanxiense)

enjoy

Wow! nice color. Schoko-chocolate! I get it.

 

[Dido]

Great looking Hybird, I really like it.

Congrats on this one.

Cool little thing. Interesting that shanxiense dominates. I've seen some wild plants of this cross with much more yellow in them though.

[W. Beetus]

Yup, that's exactly what I meant Dieter! I've seen a number of photos similar to this one. That's typical of hybrids though, each plant can be very different from the next.

hello,
just another flowering plant,
bred by Mr. Frosch of Germany
and registered in 2010.
its a really small growing plant, just 12 cm high,
with span of the flower of only 2 cm.............
(like the podplant)

I have seen a pic earlier ( about 2006) in DIE ORCHIDEE
when Mr. G. Bergel of Germany bred several new Hybrids,
which he never registered.
so he denied to register this too,
but I registered his other C. passerinum Hybrid,
and named it C. Rheinsberg Sparrow Egg.
(flowerpic will follow later)

This is Cypripedium Amelie (C. passerinum X C. flavum)

enjoy

hello,
some more Cyps this day.

several years ago I get some ex-flask seedlings from a buddy, but I am a lousy grower of those tiny rhizoms.
Only 3 "matured" now, and this is the first flowering

Cypripedium farreri the true

and this is

Cypripedium X ventricosum 'Uwes alba '1'

I received this along with 3 others from a nurseryman named Uwe as ventricosum alba,
he personally selected them. But all 4 came out as colored types
thus the "funny" cultivar name.

but not so bad at the end.............



enjoy

 

[Dido]

Great ones and ncie Farreri.

Congrats for growing up the seedlings.

My seedlings will nedd at least 1 or 2 more.
1 looks nearly mature.

My adult ones will flower soon.

 

[KyushuCalanthe]

Ah, nice farreri Dieter! I love your albas:rollhappy:too! You just never know what is going to happen with a ventricosum seedling...

 

[cyprimaniac]

Ah, nice farreri Dieter! I love your albas:rollhappy:too! You just never know what is going to happen with a ventricosum seedling...

Tom, they were no seedlings.
they were selected from white flowering plants in year before.........

but they never flowered white again,
perhaps a "genetic mutation" from different growing conditions :rollhappy:

 

[KyushuCalanthe]

perhaps a "genetic mutation" from different growing conditions :rollhappy:

Hmmm, yes, that is a very odd mutation indeed:rollhappy:

someone used aspargus to fertilize
