Ingrid is a cross between the American small yellow ladyslipper and Cyp cordigerum a, small Asian species. I have several plants blooming this year - interestingly those with two flowers per stem all have white pouches

whereas those with one flower per stem have cream-colored pouches

so much beauty:heart::heart::heart:

Awesome...stunning pics!:cool:

The first one is just gorgeous! Wow, what a flower.

Beautiful blooms and great shots! :thumbsup:

The first one is beautiful!

Very nice cyps!

Ron nice to see the green in the petals on the first great one. Little different, not "just an other yellow hybrid" is it not. Great that is combined with having two flowers per stem as well. How tall/small is the plant and the size of the flower. They look nicely proportionally if You get what I mean.
The first one seem lower than the second is that the case for all twin flowered one that they are shorter than the single flowered one?

Kind regards
Joakim

Hi, Joakim, the plants are about 12 - 14 inches tall. The white on pictured is 12 inches tall, the yellow one closer to 14 inches. Overall plants with flowers of both colors overlap in size.

Ron thanks for the information

Hi Ron, Dieter, and all those I do not know,

I've enjoyed your pictures greatly! I've been very busy with the new job started this year and also some family emergencies so my only blooming Cyps are acaule in other locations (I have only 1 "captive") and the Phillip I just got from you Ron. The bed I grow them in seems shady and moist now (except for 2 hrs of morning sun) but I'll have to remember in August the afternoon sun comes blazing in as its position changes. Also I'll need to put a barrier around the bed to keep out the tree roots this year.
I lost my Ulla Silkens and Andrewsii there, what a bummer, and the other cyp there, pubescens , has no bloom and only 1 healthy growth and another that has brown streaks in it and limp leaves. Did I over fertilize or under? This does not include the various seedlings I've lost over the years. I'll now cut a lot of blooming stems from the Hydrangea quercifolia (oak-leaved hydrangea) 1 meter away due south for gifts to people and that should open up more light as well as more coming in after June 21, and be sure to provide some diffused shade mid to late summer from 3 pm on. Also mid to late summer as the sun's position changes I'll need to put some diffuse screening up for late afternoon, I think last year I burned out the Ulla Silkens I had.
All projects seem to have but put on hold, but I manage to get in 10-15 minutes poking about the garden in the morning, that and occasionally perusing these forums and their contributions have given me great solace and enjoyment.

Hi, Bonaventure, Hang in there! I suspect that the brown streaks indicate a fungus infection. You mentions that the site is quite moist, you may want to increase drainage. Also, I have nearly gotten rid of all fungus by making sure that I have not organic material in the medium. Over fertilizing can also cause brown streaks but I have found these plants tolerate a lot of fertilizer - if organic material is not present. The limp leaves suggest that the roots are not happy - I think your issue is most likely a too-wet medium.

Best,

Ron

Picture-perfect, Ron. I LOVE the first 2.
