Default Cypripedium Reginae
Hi everyone

I've always wanted to try Cyps and so, this January, I took the plunge and got three. The other two (flavum Alba and tibeticum) aren't flowering size yet, but the Reginae has come up with two flowers. It's so pretty, I love it to bits! The second flower hasn't quite come out yet, but I couldn't wait to post the progress pics and the final flower. Hope you enjoy

Thanks Everyone

Here are some pics of the new flower and the two together. Unfortunately, the wind slightly caught the left flower in one shot, but I thought I'd upload anyway. I also tried to get a nice close-up of the spotting in the pouch, this was the best I could do
