Here are some photos of fabulous Cyp. kentuckiense. These plants were purchased from Hillside Nursery which I cannot say enough good things about the quality of their cyps. and the surprising low price they charge for kentuckiense. They multiply rapidly, too and have an exceptionally nice shape and colour. They are more rounded than the traditional 'bucket-headed Frankenstein-esque' kentuckiense. I will be crossing them with Favillianum later.

Enjoy!

Incredible!!! Maybe one day I'll work up the nerve to try a cyp.

They look good! Those dorsals are quite erect.
