Cypripedium planipetalum kentuckiense Kazakhstan Essentially

Essentially

Visitors to the 1991 Hosta Convention in Raleigh were amazed at this seedling in the garden of Tony Sears of Apex (the guy with the 2-mile railroad track in his garden)

The 18" tall x 2' wide

In addition to the mixed ploidy-induced seer-suckered leaf edge of its parent

Cypripedium planipetalum kentuckiense Kazakhstan EssentiallyWe are pleased to share a few hybrids from a new cross of the dwarf Canadian Cypripedium parviflorum var. pubescens forma planipetalum with Cypripedium kentuckiense. Technically, this is the same as Cypripedium 'Lothar Pinkepank', but we'll keep it separate for now. The flowers are bright yellow, with dark purple contrasting, twisty sepals. Quantities are very limited.
