Mrs. K's pride and joy.

No that heading does not refer to me.

This is Cypripedium Ulla Silkens. A Lady's Slipper orchid which she has grown in the garden for several years.
It is a vigorous hybrid being a cross between the American Cyp. reginae and the rare Chinese Cyp. Flavum. It was produce by Swedish grower Svante Malmgren in 1996.

I may blip the whole plant in a few days when it is at its best with maybe 30 blooms.
