I must say, the specimen to the right hand side in the first picture is certainly of the same species... no doubt about that, so many identical features.... 8)

a stunning display. What medium do you grow this species in?

It's smaller than I realised so I will have to keep it in a pot, rather than planting it out in the garden

Do you mean you plant all your Cypripediums in the garden!

Yes I plant all my cypripediums in a raised bed in the garden, but the rest are all hybrids which are usually more vigorous than the species.

He said so in the first line. I did not realise you were so serious.
