Robin, Spangle Creek Labs has a great page for information or will flask for you. This is one of the preeminent flasking labs for personal and professional purposes. Great folks out of Minnesota. I’m fairly certain the owner was one of the people that figured out how to produce successfully at scale and help save the wild populations around the country. Friend of mine worked with them on restoring wild populations of Cyp. Kentuckyiense in its far southern range in Louisiana from wild seed provided to Spangle Creek. http://www.spanglecreeklabs.com/ Mike On Thu, Jan 28, 2021 at 12:33 PM R Hansen via pbs < pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> wrote: > I have two Cypripediums, very mature plants, given to me by a friend when > she had to move.
