This unique and rare hybrid between the American Cypripedium kentuckiense and the Japanese C. macranthos var. rebunense has rich pink tepals surrounding a pastel yellow pouch speckled with pink spots. The flowers are huge in size on stems 1-2 feet tall 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.
