Fantastic!!

Is C. flavum easy to grow?

 

[Hakone]

Hello Erythrone,

yes, flavum is easy to grow

 

[NYEric]

Very nice again!

 

[KyushuCalanthe]

Nice flavum. Easy to grow? Maybe, if you live in a cool climate. They hate the heat. That farreri I wager will be fasiolatum instead - too big a plant to be farreri.

 

[yijiawang]

Yes, I think it maybe fasciolatum too....farreri height seldom could over 20cm.

Dear yijiawang and Tom,

Thank you very much , here is a farreri Description from Mr. Frosch . What do you think ?

Hello Hakone, Thank you for the link, according to myself record, this species from 2600~3300meters. Seldom saw it below 3000meters. Never found it below 2400meters. Lowland form plants&flowers are different with highland form's. This picture showed lowland form, the last one is highland form's.
And, most of farreri got pygmy plant and long spike, as pictures showed.
Let's awaiting what flower will appear in your garden, very interesting.
