Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Cypripedium 'Otto' (C. calceolus x C. pubescens) has medium-sized flowers with warm yellow pouches that contrast boldly with highly twisted and rippled warm burgundy petals. One to two flowers per stem. Blooms in May. Grown from seed. Plants will resemble the image but may not be identical. Lady's slipper hybrids are much more vigorous and easy to grow than species. Well cared for clumps can double their flowering stems ever year! Blooming size.
