Cypripedium formosanum - first flower for me

[RosieC]

My Cyp formosanum has flowered

I bought this in November and forgot about it dormant in my greenhouse. I didn't water it and it was too warm in there for it really. I only spotted it when the flower was already open and should have been watering more if I had realised it had come out of dormancy.

I think that's why it flowered both early (too warm) and the pouch is puckered and not perfect (too dry).

I still love it though
