Once I get a phrag to bloom.... :poke:

Nick, do you bring all your plants inside in the winter?

I have a GH that I heat for the winter. Before paphs, I did, but now they have their own GH!

More Cyps, you need more Cyps...

LOL! We do! We can never have enough, because you can plant them outside if you are not in zone 1!

As soon as my landscaping is done, I'm going to choose a special spot in the garden for some cyps. I have lots of trees, partial shade, and good drainage, so I'm hoping for success!

I think your collection is quite lovely! I congratulate you in being able to hold back on getting more....my will power is not so strong. My collection is still small compared to most members of SOF but I've essentially run out of space.

However, I will agree you need more Phrags! I had 3 last year; two bloomed and now I'm hooked!

Cypripediums:
acaule
reginae
Favillianum (Forget the cross)

I have seen Favillianum listed as parviflorum var. pubescens X candidum (1994 Whitlow). I've also seen a natural x favillianum listed as candidum x parviflorum (1932 Curtis).

I was very curious about traits that are passed in a cross so I created a database of Cyp species and hybrids so I could view images of mother, father, and child all together to analyse. So along with it I figured I'd put in years and author/cultivator and other info. I plan on putting it online at some point but need to get image permissions first.
