Kentucky Lady's Slipper Orchid, Cypripedium kentuckiense, is the largest of all the Lady's Slipper Orchids. It is a hardy orchid with large, 2+" waxy, bright, creamy white, sometimes yellowish cast, moccasin shaped flowers resembling a swollen egg. The petals and sepals are greenish striped and mottled with purple. They have an opening through which pollinating insects travel. There is no nectar, and insects have to find their way through the pouch and out the back. They probably soon learn there is little nectar available in Lady's Slippers and avoid the flowers, which may be why so few are pollinated in the wild. Flowers are singular on tall spikes. It is a late Spring bloomer, and flowers can last up to a month or more. Flower spikes benefit from staking, and protection from the wind. In their natural habit, Kentucky Lady's Slipper Orchids grow in rich, moist, open, upland woods, above bogs and fens. The soil is typically acidic, low nutrient, loose, well drained and humusy. It is consistently moist, but not saturated. There is frequently a layer of decomposing leaves on the soil surface. Light is shade or dappled sunlight. Plants tolerate full sun, but do not look their best. Seeds are very fine and can be a challenge to germinate. It is winter hardy, and should be protected from rodents during dormancy. Mulch with 4+" of pine needles in the Fall. Leave at least a 1" of needles after spring cleanup. The rhizomes can be stored in damp sphagnum at 35°F (2°C) in a refrigerator for 3 or 4 months. Water with rain/distilled water, they are sensitive to mineral buildup. Do not over water, and be sure to keep the soil slightly moist during the peak of summer. It is striking in beds and pots, and makes a colorful addition to the bog garden.

Seed Packs are fresh harvested in the Fall, and stored refrigerated. Seed count is approximate, but reliable. For bog orchids seed count is actually 100-250+ per pack, as these seeds are dust-like and too small to count.

Note: Stratification is required to prepare seeds for germination. We recommend using our Stratification Sand. All seeds are produced from open pollination within our collection. Native orchid seeds require the presence of commensal fungus to properly germinate and grow. Growing carnivorous plants from seeds is best suited for the experienced and patient grower. See our webpage on Growing CPs from Seeds.

Cheap in all respects
I mean, how much can I complain about stainless earrings that don't even last three months? The hoop was fine, but the clasp wouldn't stay closed and then snapped off within three months. Worth the price? Kinda on the fence about that.

For your big head instead.
I bought these in anticipation of my upcoming lasik procedure. These things look great and the seller even included a cleaning kit in box. As someone who is 6'3" with a larger head, these sunglasses are snug without being uncomfortable. I actually love that since my current prescription sunglasses are so loose on my head that they can fall off during light activity or when I sweat. Now that I have my pick of the litter with sunglasses, I could not be happier with the money I spent on these and the quality that comes with them.
