Cypripedium Huanglong Love

[fundulopanchax]

I purchased two of Wenqing Perner's new hybrid, Huanglong Love (xventricosum x tibeticum) a few months ago. A lovely complex hybrid of (calceolus x macranthos) x tibeticum. I am told that these two plants are pod siblings - certainly xventricosum is quite varied in its clones - solid red, solid white, solid yellow and many combinations of bicolors. I like both of these. Cell phone pix, I will take better ones.

Interesting results

Nice. Do these need dry winters?

Saw the first one and went "Wow". Then I looked at the second and couldn't decide which I liked better. Would like to see them fully opened.

Nice variation. I'll bet they are good clumpers.
