Cypripedium Lukas Orostachys and also one of theCypripedium 'Lukas' is a splendid hybrid between the North American native ladyslipper orchid, Cypripedium parviflorum var. pubescens and the Taiwanese native Cypripedium segawae. Cypripedium 'Lukas' produces a small 1' tall x 1' wide clump. In spring, each stalk produces up to three bright yellow pouches, each backed by purple flecked sepals. Our ladyslipper offerings are all flowering size plants. These are in very short supply, so don't delay.
