Hello to all.
As the Cypripedium acaule flowering season winds down here in the Mid-Atlantic (Washington, DC), I wanted to offer anyone farther north or still in bloom, hoping to outcross the species some pollinia I collected from a spent flower I encountered in my favorite spot.
I have geolocation data, as well as photos I can share of the population as whole (would just take time to dig through digital photo albums), but generally speaking the flowers are all an intense, rosy pink, nearing magenta. I missed this individual while it was a fresh bloom, but it is near the place I found one last year.
All 4 pollinia were still present in the fallen flower, and the intense, shiny yellow was an incredible contrast to the matte, brown, dry flower.
Feel free to reply here or message me. I will ship anywehre in the United States free of charge.
