Cool, if you could please post an update when the flower fades, just curious how long it can last.

It's starting to look a bit faded today. We have had some hot weather (31C) today which likely didn't help. It bloomed for nearly 2 weeks. And it is a first bloom so maybe next year it will be stronger. Not sure how long these are expected to last.

Two weeks is what I had heard. Not bad at all for an outdoor flower. Looking forward to next spring. The Frosch site says they need ample fertilizer but I am hesitant to put much on the first year. Just trying to keep it cool and moist. It's up in the lower 30s C here too...not so great for cool growing Cyps :)

Mine is still 'in bloom' but past its prime now! I hope you get blooms next spring.

Looks so nice Silken. I'm having a bit of regret that I did not get some Cyps at your show.

Here are my yellows...

Hi eggshells. They look great. My yellow came up, one growth only but maybe a bloom or two next year. It got stepped on last year so I wasn't sure if it had survived at all!

There is always another time to get more Cyps :)

Amazing!!! I have not had the courage to try Cyps in my garden.

If it can grow in my climate, it should do OK in yours :)
