Also known as resurrection lilli's went home with Sapling in Chief last noct.
This allium makes its green early in the spring, and later in the summer when the green has died back puts up a solo very pink lilli.

I went to my local forrager for Cypripediums. I've not heard back. I just emailed a propagating outfit out of MI for some of theirs.
I am so happy to let somebody else flask cypripedium seeds. For me its more like plant many, and maybe a few will live.

Whelp i thunk i was geting Cypripedium acaule, when they arived today they was *Cypripedium pubscenes (the bigger yellow ones).
And ones that tolerate slightly alkaline soil (so they're easier to care for). The Sapling-In-Chief will profit from these some year.
*Cypripedium = Lady Slipper orchid.
FWIW these are from Great Lakes Orchids, so they are flask grown and not wild collected. (Meaning its legal for me to buy these).

I dunno if SIC (who is due to be by today) will take pix. I got in another tray worth of bloodroot. They went into a pan against an autumnal plant out.
I'll try and pester her to take some.
If that does not happen; a wiki search with the key words "Sanginaria Canadensis" will get you to a fair photo-set and biography.

There are a few on ebay selling them as well.bulbs are expensive.y=eeeeeeesh. I was looking earlier this spring. The places specializing in ground orchids were asking between $50 and $90 each, depending on the precise type and how much butt pain goes into propagating them. I would worry about ones on e-bay being poached. I remember being amazed to see them in a grocery store plant department. Until I went home and ran a search on it, I hadn't realized that legal propagation had gone into full on commercial production.
