Cypripedium tibeticum, Min Shan form ~ Terrestrial

deciduous slipper orchid from cold-temperate mountain regions in North
Sichuan and adja-cent South Gansu. Winter hardy but needs protection from
warm spells and rains in winter. Best grown in pots in an unheated alpine
S0028 house. Modestly easy to grow. Substrate as for the other cypripediums. This is
the large-flowered wine-red form with white base color. We propagate forms
selected for size and color. Height 25-35 cm. Flowers in spring. For additional
cultivation hints see under Cyp. Wenqing.

Flower spread ca. 6–12 cm.

Cypripedium flavum ~ Terrestrial deciduous slipper orchid of cold-

temperate regions in Southwest China. In temperate regions hardy in the
garden, but needs protection from early springs, winter moisture and summer
heat. With some growers easy, otherwise slightly difficult, especially in warm
summers. A recommended substrate is 4 parts perlite (3-5 mm), 1 part
S0008 composted bark (or peat) and 1/4-1/2 part finely crushed limestone (or
dolomite), the mix top-dressed with a 2-3 cm layer of dry pine needles. Plant
height 30-50 cm. Flowers in late spring to early summer. For additional
cultivation hints see under Cyp. Wenqing.

Flower spread ca. 4-6 cm.

Cypripedium shanxiense ~ Terrestrial deciduous slipper orchid of

cold-temperate to temperate regions in Northeast, Central and South-west
China. In temperate regions hardy in the garden, if winter moisture protection
is given. Better grown in pots in a cold alpine house. A slightly difficult species.
S0015 A recommended substrate is 4 parts perlite (3-5 mm), 1 part composted bark
(or peat) and 1/4-1/2 part finely crushed limestone (or dolomite), the mix top-
dressed with a 2-3 cm layer of dry pine needles. Height 40-50 cm. Flowers in
spring. For additional cultivation hints see under Cyp. Wenqing.

Flower spread ca. 5-8 cm.

Cypripedium Wenqing (tibeticum x farreri) ~ This is the

horticultural remake of the rare natural hybrid Cypripedium x wenqingiae, the
cross between the wine-red Cyp. tibeticum and the golden and brown striped
Cyp. farreri. Like most primary hybrids easier to grow than both parents. For
H0060 a successful start of growth the dormant shoots need at least 3 months, better 4-
5 months, hibernation at temperatures between 0-4 °C (but do not freeze
them!). The flasks have had the cold-treatment already. During the growing
period keep cool (10-15 °C night, 18-25 °C day) and never let dry out!

Flower spread ca. 6-8 cm.

 Cymbidium faberi ~ Terrestrial, temperate to warm-temperate
grower from East, Central, South and Southwest China. Pot culture with water
retentive substrate of good drainage qualities. In winter keep cool and bright
with reduced watering. In summer the plant likes intermediate conditions with
#090193003 good watering. We find cultivation in pure perlite (small grade, drainage holes
covered with fine mesh, top dressed with gravel) quite well-working. Plant gets
30-50 cm tall. Flowers in spring, often fragrant.

Flower spread ca. 5-6 cm.

Cymbidium goeringii, ‘serratum type’ ~ Terrestrial plant

from Southwest China to Taiwan. Corresponds to theJapanese type form of
Cym. goeringii, but in China a widely used synonym for these usually unscented
plants with full segments and an often cross-like flower shape. Cultivation like
#09187002 for the scented form. Both need to be kept cold and dry in winter, too much
moisture leads to rot of flower buds, too little moisture to bud drop. Plants are
20-40 cm tall. Flowers in spring, usually not fragrant.

Flower spread ca. 4-5 cm.

Paphiopedilum barbigerum var. coccineum ~ Lithophytic

orchid from warm-temperate to subtropical regions in Southeast Yunnan and
adjacent North Viet-nam. In winter keep cool with slightly reduced water-ing.
#11013001 In summer the plant likes intermediate to warm conditions with copious
waterings, excellent drainage required. Rather variable small to just medium-
sized plant with a leaf spread of 10-25 cm. Flowers in au-tumn

Flower diameter ca. 5-8 cm.

Paphiopedilum barbigerum var. vejvarutianum (syn v.

sulivongii) ~ Lithophytic orchid from warm-temperate to subtropical
regions in northern Central Laos and probably adjacent regions in Thailand. A
#11027701 synonym is Paph. sulivongii. Same cultivation requirements as Paph.
barbigerum var. coccineum. Rather variable small to medium-sized plant with
a leaf spread of 10-35 cm. Flowers in au-tumn

Flower diameter ca. 5-8 cm.

Paphiopedilum Maudiae ‘Dark Coloratum’ x self (callosum

#700310 x lawrenceanum) ~ Full shaped type of Paph. Maudiae coloratum.
Flower diameter ca. 10 cm.
 Paphiopedilum charlesworthii ~ TSeedlings of the typical Chinese
wild form, which is a true miniature (leaves usually spread around 15 cm in
mature plants). Ready for deflasking.
#11087004
(The photo shows one of the actual parents)

Paphiopedilum Doll's Kobold (charlesworthii x

henryanum) ~ For this cross we have used the compact wild form of Paph.
charlesworthii and a compact type of Paph. hen-ryanum to create a true
miniature hybrid with intensive coloration. With the current flasks on offer we
#490211 expect the same results as seen in an earlier raising of this hybrid in our
greenhouse, of which we have pasted a photo of a first-flowering seedling here.
The plant is an intermediate grower, but should be best kept cold in winter and
warm and humid in summer.

Flower diameter ca. 6-7 cm.

Paphiopedilum helenae ~ Lithophytic orchid from subtropical

regions in West Guangxi. In winter keep cool with slightly reduced watering. In
summer the plant likes intermediate to warm conditions with copious
waterings, excellent drainage required. This is a beautiful miniature slipper
#11009101 orchid that is very floriferous when established and when the monsoonal
climate regime (see above) is duplicated. Leaves spread 8-12 cm. Flowers in
autumn

Flower diameter ca. 3-5 cm.

Paphiopedilum henryanum (‘Zhao Select #2’ x

‘Hengduan Black Ruby’) ~ Lithophytic orchid from subtropical
limestone regions in Southwest Guangxi and Southeast Yunnan. In winter keep
cool with slightly reduced watering. In summer the plant likes intermediate to
warm conditions with copious waterings, excellent drainage required. We used
#1100921 an exceptional clone, ‘Zhao Select ‘2’, with very broad dorsal sepal and a large
lip as seed plant and pollinated it with our darkest clone ‘Hengduan Black
Ruby’, which has 10 cm natural spread and expect large dark flowers. Leaves
spread 25-30 cm. Flowers in autumn.

Flower diameter ca. 10 cm.

Paphiopedilum hirsuttisimum var. esquirolei ~ Lithophytic

and terrestrial orchid from subtropical limestone regions in Southwest
Guizhou, North and west Guangxi and Southeast Yunnan. In winter keep cool
#11008602 with slightly reduced watering. In summer the plant likes intermediate to warm
conditions with copious waterings, excellent drainage required. We grow
various different types. Leaves spread ca. 30-45 cm. Flowers in spring

Flower diameter ca. 15-16 cm.

 Paphiopedilum gratrixianum v. daoense ~ Lithophytic and
terrestrial orchid from subtropical regions in South Yunnan. In winter keep
cool with slightly reduced watering. In summer the plant likes intermediate to
warm conditions with copious water-ings, excellent drainage required.
#10009403 Described by Avery-anov in 2002 from plants collected in North Vietnam. In
good clones the flower color can be very intensive! Leaves semi-erect to
pendulous, 15-30 cm long and 2-4 cm wide. Flowers in autumn.

Flower diameter ca. 6-8 cm.

Paphiopedilum n.r. (Grace Darling x henryanum f.

christae)~We have used a well proven parent for flavinis-tic/albinistic
complex hybrids in paphiopedilum, Paph. Grace Darling, and crossed it with
the attractive semi-album form of Paph. henryanum, which is known as Paph.
#1450111 henryanum forma christae. Paph. henryanum typically transfers the dark pink
pouch into its hybrids. We expect a compact complex hybrid with yellowish
green to yellow sepals and petals and a pink pouch and a flower diameter
somewhere around 8-10 cm.
Note: The cross between Paph. Grace Darling and Paph. henryanum has not
been registered yet.

Paphiopedilum hangianum ~ Lithophytic orchid from subtropical

regions in South-west Guangxi and Southeast Yunnan. In winter keep cool with
slightly reduced watering. In summer the plant likes intermediate to warm
conditions with copi-ous waterings, excellent drainage required. A slow grower
#10006103 that needs 2-3 years to mature a new growth to flowering size. Leaves spread
20-50 cm. We are currently the only nursery that can offer this rare species as
artificially propagated plants legally with complete CITES documentation!
Flowers in spring.

Flower diameter ca. 10-18 cm.

Paphiopedilum Magic Lantern (micranthum x

delenatii) ~ This is one of the most attractive crosses of Paph. mi-cranthum
with another species in subgenus Parvise-palum. The resulting flowers have a
#$$430210 full round shape and are of on overall pink coloration in various grades of
depth. Depicted here is a first flowering seedling of an earlier seed batch made
and raised in our green-house. The plant is an intermediate grower, but should
be best kept cold in winter and warm and humid in summer.
Flower diameter ca. 6-7 cm

Paphiopedilum Maudiae-type vinicolor ~ In this strain of a

dark Maudiae-type paphiopedilum hybrid you find genes of Paph. callosum
forma viniferum, which are responsible for the melting of the black spots on the
#$1230210 patals into near pitch-black dark areas. Very dark-red overall flower coloration
can be expected in most seedlings.

Flower diameter around 10 cm.

 Paphiopedilum purpuratum ~ Terrestrial orchid mainly from
subtropical regions in South Guangdong and Hong Kong. In winter keep cool
with slightly reduced watering. In summer the plant likes intermediate to warm
#10012301 conditions with copious watering, excellent drainage required. An attractive
compact slipper orchid. Leaves spread 12-25 cm. Flow-ers in late summer.

Flower diameter ca. 5-7 cm.

Paphiopedilum venustum forma measuresianum

(sib cross of the album form) ~ Terrestrial orchid from
subtropical regions in Northeast India and Southeast Tibet The plant is an
intermediate grower, but should be best kept cold in winter and warm and
$10,012,602 humid in summer. This is the Paphiopedilum that was the first to enter
cultivation in the early 19 th centruy. The intnesive veination of the pouch is its
most peculiar character. Leaves spread 15-25 cm. Flowers in winter.

Flower diameter ca. 7-9 cm.

Paphiopedilum villosum v boxalii fatratum (dorsal

deep black) ~ Epiphyte from subtropical regions in Southwest Yunnan.
Like most Chinese paphiopedilums it needs to be kept cool in winter and warm
and humid in summer. This particular form of Paph. villosum var. boxallii is
#11012904 characterized by its very dark coloration, the spots in the dorsal usually merge
into a solid black coloration. We have started a line-breeding of this form and
offer second generation seeldings. Flowers in winter.

Flower diameter ca. 7-9 cm.

Paphiopedilum villosum v villosum (synonym Paph.

villosum var. annamense) ~ Epiphyte, rarely lithophyte or
terrestrial from subtropical regions in Southern China. Like most Chinese
paphiopedilums it needs to be kept cool in winter and warm and humid in
#11009502 summer. Tis is the type form of the species, which is very variable, and can
show a deep yellow to white base color of the dorsal sepal. The photo shows the
actual parent plants. Flowers in autumn.

Flower diameter ca. 8-12 cm.

Paphiopedilum wardii ‘Hengduan’s Pride’

albafum ~ scarce alba form.
#11012505
(The photo shows the actual parent plant.)
 Phragmipedium humboldtii (Synonyms are Phrag.
warszewiczii, Phrag. popowii) (long petals, deep
brownred pouch) ~ Epiphyte, rarely terrestrial, from Central America.
#11014501 Kept intermediate to warm all year round. Needs excellent drainage but should
not dry out between waterings. A good way to keep the plant happy is to grow it
in a hanging pot with extra drainage holes at he lower sides. Leaves up to 45 cm
tall. Flowers usually in summer. This is the Phrag. caudatum relative from
Central America with lots of brown coloration, often falsely referred to as
Phrag. warszewiczianum. Flower height approx. 45-75 cm
