hi and welcome to SlipperTalk
you may want to go to the Greetings and Salutations area and introduce yourself and ask there
there may be a better response there as this is a friendly group, but some folks may not see this here....

Think you made a hybrid there Eric - Frasier's Thimble Farms (Salt Spring Island, B.C.) x Spangle Creek Labs (Bovey, MN) :rollhappy:

If you are in the warmer parts of the US and want to try nursery propagated species and hybrids, talk to them...Zone 8a:

Cypripedium

Cypripedium : When planted, cypripedium roots should lay horizontally, just below a well-drained, well-prepared mulched surface. The roots should be covered with compost and mulch.

Pretty amazing nursery and gardens that as Tony Avent's legacy will become part of NC State University's botanical holdings.

They picked the right climate for setting up a nursery and growing temperate terrestrials!

Garden Slippers in Calgary is probably the best. I've dropped a fortune there....
