How to raise in vitro propagated <strong>Cypripedium</strong> <strong>seedlings</strong> to fully established hardy plants for the gar<strong>de</strong>n<br />

people to raise <strong>Cypripedium</strong>s from <strong>seedlings</strong> themselves; the sight <strong>of</strong> a flowering<br />
<strong>Cypripedium</strong> raised from a seedling by yourself is very rewarding.<br />
For beginners I would recommend C. reginae, C. kentuckiense, C. californicum<br />
and C. parviflorum ssp pubescens to start with. C. reginae <strong>seedlings</strong> are by far<br />
the cheapest and easiest to procure. C. kentuckiense is one <strong>of</strong> the most striking<br />
species <strong>of</strong> the genus and is also one <strong>of</strong> the easiest to <strong>de</strong>flask. However,<br />
<strong>seedlings</strong> <strong>of</strong> this species are more difficult to find and are more expensive. Below<br />
the rea<strong>de</strong>r will find some addresses for obtaining <strong>Cypripedium</strong> <strong>seedlings</strong>. The<br />
author also has a varying <strong>of</strong>fer <strong>of</strong> <strong>Cypripedium</strong> <strong>seedlings</strong>.<br />
