Cypripedium Victoria Ornamental Seed or Fruit velvet mallow is truly hardCypripedium 'Victoria' is a 2005 Peter Corkhill hardy ladyslipper orchid hybrid that combines the North American native Cypripedium parviflorum var. pubescens with the Asian Cypripedium fasciolatum. The resulting vigorous hybrid produces stalks topped with a creamy white pouch backed by light brown sepals. This is a similar cross of Cypripedium 'Inge' except using the larger flowered form of Cypripedium parviflorum. Our ladyslipper orchid offerings
