Last year they finally started to flower.

The plants took a bit of a battering when we were up North. That was the monsoon (couple of days) and the slugs/snails came out to feast. Flowers are looking good

This is a plant I purchased as Cypripedium reginae white flower. I ordered it along with another two Cypripedia and the other two were substandard. The nursery gave me a £7.50 discount but I chased them up and received a further £25. I was happy to receive a 4 nosed plant on the white and I'm still happy with the plant but I do wish it was white flowered. This is a standard C. reginae ( photos sent to the Nursery).
I've dealt with this company several times over the years and never had a problem. Suddenly my order is a complete disaster, not one plant as advertised.

I don't think they give me grounds for complaint though as they do look rather good in flower.
