Cypripedium parviflorum var. pubescens in my garden

[smartie2000]

I'm back from vacation and I was afraid this plant was too dehydrated when I came back (my first thing was to check my cyps when I came back!). However this is my best blooming of this parviflorum var. pubescens! The six large blooms just opened this Saturday and I'm very pleased. I saw a tiny wasp fly by too during the photo shoot. I thought I'd share, thanks for looking. I've had this plant for three years, starting from a two stem plant.

It grows in approx. 12 inch pot, sunk into the ground. It grows near spruce trees and gets eastern sun from the morning until early afternoon. I may move it into are larger pot after next year if it gets too big, or plant it permanently in the ground.
