Lady’s Slipper Orchid

That time of year has come round again. The Lady’s Slipper orchids have started their summer spectacular.

This is Cypripedium Gisela. It was created in 1991 by crossing the Chinese Cyp.macranthos with the American Cyp. parviflorum.

It is one of the easiest Lady’s Slipper orchids to grow. This one is growing happily in our garden on a north facing terrace. It is always the first one to flower.

The extra shows the whole plant which has fifteen blooms at present..
