Re: Lady slipper

Again thanks, Jim. It's really stunning in person. If it's still on exhibit when I get back, I'll get the ID Selby has given it and let you know. Meantime, I'm going to ID my pictures with your ID.

Incidentally, I was feeling kind of down because our plantation is looking kind of bedraggled, but when I compared it--plant for plant--with Selby, we're looking pretty good.

Went by Selby today on my way home from the computer store and got this picture of a great lady slipper. There was also a Thunbergia mysorensis blooming and I was in such a hurry to photograph it, that I forgot to get an ID on the lady slipper--and then, of course, the Thunbergia pictures were less than I had hoped. Maybe I'll get back this weekend or sooner.

That's one of the asiatic Paphiopedilums, related to but not interfertile
with our native Cypripediums. Looks like _might_ be Paph. rothschildianum
or perhaps one of its hybrids.
