Some of the Cypripedium candidum and parviflorum prior to be taken to the Boston Flower Show.

Congratulations to Tina Balog and her colleagues for designing, setting up, and manning (10 days!) a marvelous display. They won the Massachusetts Horticultural Society Silver Medal, the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Research Award Silver Medal, and the Ralph Werman Award for exceptional educational merit.
