Kentucky Lady's Slipper Orchid, Cypripedium kentuckiense, is the largest of all the Lady's Slipper Orchids. It is a hardy orchid with large, 2+" waxy, bright, creamy white, sometimes yellowish cast, moccasin shaped flowers resembling a swollen egg. The petals and sepals are greenish striped and mottled with purple. They have an opening through which pollinating insects travel. There is no nectar, and insects have to find their way through the pouch and out the back. They probably soon learn there is little nectar available in Lady's Slippers and avoid the flowers, which may be why so few are pollinated in the wild. Flowers are singular on tall spikes. It is a late Spring bloomer, and flowers can last up to a month or more. Flower spikes benefit from staking, and protection from the wind. In their natural habit, Kentucky Lady's Slipper Orchids grow in rich, moist, open, upland woods, above bogs and fens. The soil is typically acidic, low nutrient, loose, well drained and humusy. It is consistently moist, but not saturated. There is frequently a layer of decomposing leaves on the soil surface. Light is shade or dappled sunlight. Plants tolerate full sun, but do not look their best. Seeds are very fine and can be a challenge to germinate. It is winter hardy, and should be protected from rodents during dormancy. Mulch with 4+" of pine needles in the Fall. Leave at least a 1" of needles after spring cleanup. The rhizomes can be stored in damp sphagnum at 35°F (2°C) in a refrigerator for 3 or 4 months. Water with rain/distilled water, they are sensitive to mineral buildup. Do not over water, and be sure to keep the soil slightly moist during the peak of summer. It is striking in beds and pots, and makes a colorful addition to the bog garden.

Seed Packs are fresh harvested in the Fall, and stored refrigerated. Seed count is approximate, but reliable. For bog orchids seed count is actually 100-250+ per pack, as these seeds are dust-like and too small to count.

Note: Stratification is required to prepare seeds for germination. We recommend using our Stratification Sand. All seeds are produced from open pollination within our collection. Native orchid seeds require the presence of commensal fungus to properly germinate and grow. Growing carnivorous plants from seeds is best suited for the experienced and patient grower. See our webpage on Growing CPs from Seeds.

Plant Type: Perennial, cold temperate to temperate.
Soil: Lady's Slipper Mix

Weird smell but cute
Color: Coffee Brown, Size: 36H
Edit: ordered a size up from the size chart cup and it's perfect. Wore it all day at work today and it was super comfortable and nothing fell out. I did return this same day but it was too small in the cup. I did follow the size chart but I was still spilling out of the top. But the material was very good quality and the color was an excellent match to the listing. I will be ordering the next cup size up to see if I can get it. Only down side was a TERRIBLE chemical smell when I opened the package and took it out. But it was gone in a few minutes.

The perfect bra!
Size: 46DD, Color: Beige
This is the perfect bra! It’s comfortable, supportive, and the straps do not slide off your shoulders. The material is so soft yet lifts and shapes the sides just like they say it does while also smoothing the under arm and back area. This bra stays put all day and feels like you’re wearing nothing. It’s very well-made with the perfect stretch that covers even under a thin T-shirt. I hate to say how much money and time I’ve wasted on ill fitting overhyped bras but this one is perfection. I will definitely be buying more! My only suggestion is the band size runs a little large so I went down one band size. Cup size is right on.

So comfortable!!
Size: 38G, Color: White
This is the most comfortable underwire bra I’ve ever worn. I am a 38G cup and it lifts, shapes and supports me all day, minimizes, the back stays in place and is super smoothing. It keeps its shape through a few wears. It has great stretch. It’s so soft. Nice bright white. Perfect for an every day / work bra. And it’s super inexpensive. I’ve bought $80 bras that were horrible in comparison. The only one con it has is that because it’s so soft and stretchy, you can’t wear it more than 3 times without needing to wash it. Otherwise it stops supporting as well because it’s stretched out a bit. But I mean, we should probably be washing our bras more than we do anyway, am I right?! 😆

THE BEST. Seriously.
Size: 36E, Color: White
The world is upside down. How can a twenty dollar bra outperform my hundred dollar bras??? I don't know but here we are. I am 49, a 34F/36e, 5'1". Finding a great bra is challenging to say the least. This bra is it, y'all. I bought it in a different color a couple of weeks ago. I wore it three times in a row to make sure it wouldn't bag out, lose its support. I washed it, not in a lingerie bag, on warm, dried it on high, to make sure it would hold up to that. It passed both tests with flying colors. It is so comfortable. It feels wireless! It is very flattering, has great under-arm-flub-smoothing and support. The back is substantial and smoothing but without being bulky or restrictive. The straps are wide, but not too wide, and totally stay put all day. I bought the other three colors and the sizing is seamless across colors. This is a winner, folks!!!
