View Full Version : blooming C. pubescens TEE530 June 7th, 2007, 11:29 PM Nothing to compare to what the cyp gods of this board can put up, but here is C. pubescens, second year of blooming for me. Pic is from about a week ago; the flower is just about done now. Note funny angle on the petals. http://i19.tinypic.com/4l596wi.jpg Now turn to the left, please.... http://i11.tinypic.com/6gb6kqx.jpg rdlsreno June 8th, 2007, 12:11 AM Still pretty!!!!:woohoo: Ramon:D Tom Velardi June 8th, 2007, 04:52 AM It's a beauty in my book, but then again I'm am VERY biased!

Ladyslipper Grower June 8th, 2007, 09:35 PM How did you manage to get it to bloom 3 - 4 weeks late? Is it in pot culture or you up in the Berkshires? June 6th is a month late for a pubesens to be blooming! Nice flower. P. orchidlover June 9th, 2007, 10:59 AM I love the colors on that Cypripedium!

You know, I'm not sure why my blooming time is so late. I checked my records from last year, and this plant opened on May 24, done around June 3. This year, opened on May 28, done around June 8. I live in E. MA, inside the 128 ring at around 150' elevation. Maybe something to do with the microclimate; stuck a shovel in the ground next to the cyp bed in early April and the ground was still frozen hard as a rock below 1" depth. Any other NE growers want to compare blooming dates? hjohn June 16th, 2007, 10:52 PM Wow, that is beautiful:cool: John |
