Looks like you are doing well with these in your "hot" climate. I agree that looks like Sabine 'alba'.

That is a properly grown C. yatabeanum as well... but no web presence? A little search came up with a couple links (no website), a phone number, address and hours: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=Benedict's+Nursery+Nappanee Looks like a really cool place to visit, and not where you would imagine finding a nursery specializing in alpines.

I agree Sabine album. In mine the flowers are also somewhat different in shape from typical Sabine

Best,

Next batch of cyps now blooming. Inge and I think Michael (will need to ID third Cyp). Other pic is Chauncey.

 

[KyushuCalanthe]

Nice. I especially like Chauncey. Looks like a pure parviflorum but I bet it is more forgiving about growing conditions.

I like Chauncey but I find it less forgiving than parviflorum, same for Emil. I have a would-be display of parvi's, pubescens, makasin's, and some of the really nice yellow hybrids like these two - the species clump fast and expand while the hybrids very slowly expand.

I think the mystery Cyp is Hans Erni. Some closer up pics

Just another day in slipper paradise. Well Done, love the broad leaves on these guys.

Very nice! I really like Gabriella, such large plants with enormous flowers.

Cyp season begins. Cyp. formosanum & L. vernus 'Katrink Hull'. (Looks like last week’s frost caused a few blasted buds.)

Those leaves look wild, like you trimmed them. What are those other flowers, remind me of Virginia blue bells, especially this time of year.

Next to bloom, Lady Dorine (formosanum x fasciolatum). Planted last fall. From GPH.

Next up, Sabine alba (in pot).

 

[NYEric]

Nice. I've got my Goodyeras and Bletillas ready to go, just worried about a cold snap.

 

[KyushuCalanthe]

I love Dorine and Sabine alba. Any of the formosanum/japonicum hybrids are bound to give interesting results. Good to see they are doing well for you.

Just curious and maybe it's posted already, what is in the pots, media-wise?

Turface, and the potting mix from GPH. Top dressing of leuca clay balls
