Cypripedium Lukas Orostachys very corrugated

very corrugated

The older foliage then changes to solid gold

Some sunlight when the foliage is green is essential for good growth and flowering

What they were doing there together is still an untold story

there is no need to remove the old flower stalks unless you just find them annoying

Cypripedium Lukas Orostachys very corrugatedCypripedium 'Lukas' is a splendid hybrid between the North American native ladyslipper orchid, Cypripedium parviflorum var. pubescens and the Taiwanese native Cypripedium segawae. Cypripedium 'Lukas' produces a small 1' tall x 1' wide clump. In spring, each stalk produces up to three bright yellow pouches, each backed by purple flecked sepals. Our ladyslipper offerings are all flowering size plants. These are in very short supply, so don't delay.
