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....

Here’s what their home page says:
“We have closed our commercial orchid nursery in Connecticut since we have moved to the Seattle Washington area. We will continue to propagate orchids as dedicated (and perhaps addicted) hobbyists, with a focus on making new hybrids and we will list surplus plants in the Spring and Fall when we have excess plants available.”

They are maybe also sold out for the season.
