fasinating group of native orchids., nowdays science has enabled us to grow them without miroabica fungi. in what nature would see as speeded up flowering. lets see you got your large yellow, small yellow, showy, and pink

with it in writing that they are lab cultivated and not dug from the wild- and assuming you know how to recreate their habatat. you too can grow lady slippers.

Alex, I am not sure why you post two nonfunctional links, unless you want to direct us to these sites for some obvious reasons?

Here's the right link for the Vermont Ladyslipper Company http://www.vtladyslipper.com/

Here's the Itasca one http://ladyslipperfarm.com/

Alex, better to copy and paste when posting a link, because any spelling error makes the link not work.

Not for Florida.

So true, sadly.

I know they can be purchased and they are not cheap !!

Personally I prefer to walk through the woods, paths and and observe them in their natural habitat. Works for us here in the NE. And I will always share pics.

I grow Paphiopedilums..cranky and finicky..but I love the blooms when it manages to make it.

Sorry about making bad links. Yeah they do cost a ton of money

Don't sweat it Alex! I was just a bit puzzled where you were coming from.

I like the large yellows they are the easiest of a not so easy genis to grow but I dont grow them I just learn about um.

I went through a period of buying many cyp hybrids and they came up for years but now are dwindling. My neighbor Peter hybridizes them. http://www.hillsidenursery.biz...
I moved some to a new garden this year. It will be interesting to see if they come up this spring.
