Hello all,

Here is a Cypripedium fasciolatum that I have just received:

Do you think that it is breaking its dormancy? Should I keep it indoor or is it still possible to give it a rest in my fridge until next spring?

In advance, thank you very much for your help. Best regards.

I would put it in the fridge and check it weekly. If the buds are not elongating it shoud be OK till spring.
