Default Cypripedium Question

I see I dropped a critical "and" from my previous message. You can
buy peat moss AND sand at Lowes, but they will be separate. The peat
moss is compressed bales in the gardening section, and the sand will
be with the cement. In my area the general purpose sand is silica
sand that is suitable for use with terrestrial orchids and carnivorous
plants.

Hi
Helps a lot. I got this on eBay supposedly from a farmer who had several
hundred for sale. I will have to go to Lowe's and get some peat sand to pot
it in and stick it in the fridge I think it's Cypripedium acaule going
by the picture in the auction add.
