Thank you very much. Thank You!

These orchids were bought at Sheridan nursery, which is a quite important nursery in Toronto. I don't beleive Sheridan would get involved in poaching. These orchids were probably propagated in Germeny. Several other stores got orchids from Germany too. I also saw Cypripedium reginae in a store, but I wasn't sure whether this one can grom in my backyard.

I got my yellow lady's slippers last fall. It was kind of late, perhaps October, and the plants were on sale. I planted mine below Cornus Kousa. Hope it's ok.

Here is my concern; there were at least three stems in the pot when I bought it. Now there are only two stems emerging. I know that I planted them late, but still... Does this mean that they cannot grow in my garden?

I am hoping to get more; the local garden society organizes a sale event in May. The members' plants are obtained responsibly. Hope someone will bring an orchid or two.

Again, thank you.
