It is now March, Cypripedium do not flower now , every German child know that .

from this earlier hakone posting you already could know,
that I live in Germany.

and I am really a "german child" in contrary to hakone

the formosanums ALWAYS are so early flowering in my garden,
so does for more than 25 years now.

in some years they need to be "protected" a little bit,
that slight frosts dont damage shoots and flower /buds.
but not so this year...............

hakone seems to live in an "ice cave"

so enjoy warm sunny days in Munich Biergardens :rollhappy:
cheers
