The recent heat wave and sun has brought these plants into bloom less than four weeks from the time they emerged from my flower bed. These plants are native to my area (central Ontario, Canada) and are rescues from a bike path that went through a friends farm about 15 years ago.

That is very nice. You did well for an Ebay purchase.

Very nice. It is indeed beautiful. Thanks for posting.

Demetria is a better fit. The colour is a good match but the stance of the petals is a bit different than my plant.

Lovely looking, healthy plant. Thanks for posting.

Nice looking plants from a very good source. I wish I had access to those plants here in Ontario, Canada.

Beautiful. Thanks for posting.

Very cool. I often see great variation in temperate slipper populations, but almost exclusively colour related and not such dramatic differences in form. Lance's comments regarding changes based on altitude make sense, but are none the less extraordinary.

Can't wait to see the outcome... ... The waiting is the worst part.

Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

Amazing... BTW, loved your other orchid and wildlife photos from your field trips. Hard to believe you could carry so much stuff on your motorcycle. Keep the great pics coming.

WOW indeed! Congrats on a spectacular flowering.

Just went back to pic and got your reference, good one! Also a great idea for the pairing. I would also be interested in the progeny.

Those are gorgeous flowers. If you have the chance can you share flower dimensions and parentage? Many thanks!

I love that great dorsal... ...the rest of the flower is also lovely.

Well done. Very nice. Thanks for sharing!

What a gorgeous,little flower. Beautiful soft yellow and pink hues.

Wow. Love the petals on #1 and the dorsal on #2. Both are wonderful.

I agree... ...would love to see a larger pic and hope for great news from the judges!

This is a fine consolation. One of my all time favourites...such classic colours. It always reminds me of our local, temperate equivalent, Showy Lady Slippers.
