Aki however this cross was selected for its pale pastel hughs this season crop has a much more diverse range, with pale pink as being the highlighting accent. Like Ulla Silkens we will not garentee how much pink you will get as you can see in the photos they may have some range of pale pink hugh.

  | C. X Andrewsii____________ parviflorum x candidum Cypripedium Andrewsii can be found out in the wild rarely. It is a natural cross between our two native species C. parviflorum var. parviflorum and C. candidum wich is becoming increasingly rare in the nature. Our offing of this gem of a plant was crossed artificially as are all of the hybrids offered here. Very hardy to zone 4 it can be grown in our more northern regions. C. andrewsii will probably not be offered for a number of years after our stock runs out. This would be a nice addition to those that are interested in having native species on display in their garden or property in a natural setting.

This hybrid is a bit more dainty than Gisela and grows to about 14-19 in. The intensely coloured flowers open in mid-May and enrich your garden with exclusive beauty. Strong plants often grow two blooms on one stem. No need for winter protection: ‘Hank Small’ is absolutely hardy.

 | C. Sabine _____________ fasciolatum X macranthose NEW!Sabine like Philipp, is a large petalled cross, more than double the size of Gisela. The lip alone reaches almost chicken egg size. The plant itself grows to a maximum of 50 cm (20 in). Compare below the size of the bloom with the European lady’s slipper Cypripedium calceolus - really an amazing difference! In addition, with Sabine the stable stem and long lasting flowers (three weeks!) provide the conditions for extended enjoyment in your garden or even in pot culture.

In addition, with ‘Sabine Pastel’ you possess a plant with a stable stem, leaves as big as a hand and long lasting flowers (three weeks!). This provides the conditions for extended enjoyment in your garden and is reason enough to count it among the terrific eye-catchers of the Frosch® hybrid range. Give your `Sabine Pastel` enough space for development and plant it on a central spot in the orchid bed. You won`t regret it! BLOOM SIZE

  | C. Ulla Silkens __________ reginae X flavum ‘Ulla Silkens’ is the tallest among the listed hybrids and can grow to 60 cm (23 in) high. To reach this size it needs an especially large amount of fertilizer. Similarly to ‘Gisela Pastel’, the flower colouration varies markedly from plant to plant. In addition, the lip colour changes according to the temperature during the opening of the flower bud. The colour becomes more intense at low temperatures and paler at high temperatures (photo). You would never think that this is the same plant! Therefore ‘Ulla Silkens’ surprises you every year. Because of the hairy leaves this hybrid can stand more direct sun than the others. The planting site can also be damp, for example at the edge of a pond.
This cross completes the festival of lady’s slippers in the garden. Having planted the early flowering hybrids like ‘Gisela’, the planting of ‘Philipp’ and ‘Ulla Silkens’ leads to a full blooming season from May to June.

 | Cypripedium kentuckiense In my opinion C. kentuckience is the finest to grow and most spectacular of all Cypripedium species. Why? It is the largest size and has a very distinctive color contrast between the petals and dorsal which are shades of burgandy and the large inflated creamy pouch. My favorite! Our available plants are either fourth season in-vitro which will bloom in two years, or third season which will bloom in three years. Hardy to Zone 5. 4TH SEASON IN VITROSOLD OUT
