Cypripedium 'Baerbel Schmidt'

Quick Characteristics:

Cypripedium 'Baerbel Schmidt' ( C. montanum x C. macranthos, Schmidt 2009 ) inherits the chance for multiple flowers per stem from the North American montanum parent. The flowers have a pale yellow base color and deep red lines on the petals and a red net on the lip, blending into a warm pinkish tone from a distance. For Martin Bohnet, this hybrid is about 1-2 weeks earlier than Gisela and somewhat bigger both in flower and in statue.
