Well, it was only $4 so I thought I would give it a shot So if it
shrivels up and turns brown on me no big deal I wouldn't have gotten it
if it had been expensive.

Hi Shell! I am the last to discourage you from diving in
head first, but are you sure you want to get so complicated
so soon? Maybe you could start out with something
deciduous first, you can get he hang of these special
needs plants. Only because I think the cypripediums are
in general pretty pricey. I hope you don't take offense..
because I sort of started out the way you are.. some
simple stuff... then bam go straight for complicated. But
the complicated stuff I at least chose was inexpensive
enough that I didn't feel so bummed if I lost them.

Best of luck!
Crystal

I know cypripedium need to be refridgerated over the winter. Everything
I
have read though just says refridgerate. So, is this bare root or in
the
pot, or maybe in a paper bag?
