NEW. We have added a "For Sale" link on our Home Page.
NEW. We discussed Cypripedium as garden plants at the New Hampshire Orchid Society and the Cape & Islands Orchid Society this month. We met many members who keep native orchids, including some with large collections, and many members who are considering adding natives to their gardens. Thank you for letting us share our passion for these plants with you!

NEW. In the US there have not been many Cypripedium at orchid shows. That is now changing. At the New York International Orchid Show this month there were several very well-grown specimens and they took a number of awards. I do not know the grower but have a query into the Manhattan Orchid Society.
