Cypripedium Maria Oreocharis lantern-like flowers composed of red

lantern-like flowers composed of red calyces above the yellow petals

it never needs to be reigned in since it doesn't travel anywhere

In our trials since 2000

The flowers are a delightful blend of orange and pink

but seems to have little resemblance to Agave americana

Our offerings of Cypripedium 'Maria' are all flowering sized
