My first Cypripedium for outdoors, a trial on a planted flat roof. This hybrid of reginae x flavum has a reputation to be more hardy and tolerant to sunlight, the best for beginners and newbies. Plants can reach two feet of height.

+/- 20 cm deep. Problem might be intense sun during summer.

Hi!,

Very nice white flowers! Would grow nicely in a garden but maybe even in a house
