Cypripedium Rascal Sarracenia yellow-veined spathe and long tongue

yellow-veined spathe and long tongue (spadix) reminds us of Arisaema griffithii

Thanks to plantsman Jim Waddick for sharing this gem

We found this form to be quite distinct from all of the AZ populations that we have visited

looking like a miniature schefflera

Cypripedium Rascal Sarracenia yellow-veined spathe and long tongueCypripedium 'Rascal' is a 1990 Carson Whitlow introduction of a hybrid of two North American native ladyslipper orchids, Cypripedium parviflorum var. parviflorum and Cypripedium kentuckiense. This 18" tall gem has shown amazing vigor in our hot, humid climate. The blooms of Cypripedium 'Rascal' are mid sized yellow pouches backed by twisting brown sepals. Our 16 year old clump has 16 flowering stalks truly stunning. Our offerings are all flowering
