I have already posted photos of my double flowered 'Ulla' but this single stemmed plant made a much prettier flower. I love the coloration and composition of it. By the way, it's been pouring since Thursday so expect more wet look photos!

Beautiful! I love the dewey effect. Random question: are any cyps fragrant?

Cypripedium parviflorum var. makasin is quite sweet smelling. I'm sure there are other fragrant ones, I just don't know any more off the top of my head.

Yes, various cyps. do have a nice frangrance. Parviflorum has a rose like scent and I noticed that my x-andrewsii and favillianum had a scent.

However, they won't ever compete with a gardenia!
