View Full Version : Woohoo! Cypripedium pubescens
Paphraguy May 8th, 2009, 06:36 PM The new shoots finally emerged and they look bigger and better than they looked last year. I was hoping for more shoots this year but only two popped up. Planted last year, didn't bloom so hopefully it blooms this season! :fcrossed:
Paul B May 8th, 2009, 06:40 PM Thats nice!cant wait to see the blooms!!
Paphi May 8th, 2009, 06:56 PM so nice:heart::Party::heart:
Paphy57 May 8th, 2009, 09:03 PM Those shoots look like they could bloom this year, if not then definitely next year. Nice plant! Mine died because of the harsh winter this year, and the fact that it was newly planted in the ground. I need to get a new one.

monocotman May 9th, 2009, 03:32 AM Peter,
the shoots are now large enough for you to able to tell whether they will flower.
Just squeeze them very gently about half way down between the thumb and fore finger.
Flowering shoots have a distinctively different feel to non flowering shoots as you can feel a 'hard' area where the bud lies.
Non flowering shoots are 'soft' all the way down.
Regards,
David
Tom Velardi May 9th, 2009, 04:52 AM Yeah, but don't squeeze too hard! They look very healthy for sure.
skipper May 9th, 2009, 09:47 AM Looks very nice.
Tom S May 9th, 2009, 03:51 PM Those shoots look nice and healthy!
