Yay besseae!
Can you get Cyps up yhere?

 

[Jaljala]

Yes there are a couple of Cypripedium producers in BC at least, why?

That's a great besseae!

'Colossal' makes some very nice crosses. I have one and
it's not quite so perfect as your flower, but I love it anyway. Perhaps the next blooming will have wider
petals.

Yes that's the one I know. A huge variety of hardy orchids! I just ordered some Bletilla, Pleione and Paeonia last week from him. The Cyps will be for another time...

There are also two I don't know, called Pacific Rim Native Plants in Chilliwack, BC and one in Ontario called Lost Horizons
