Cypripedium Maria Fragrant Foliage Plants each with yellow specks deepCypripedium 'Maria' is a 1991 Werner Frosch hybrid, the result of a romantic interlude between Cypripedium parviflorum v. parviflorum and Cypripedium macranthos var. speciosum.

Our offerings of Cypripedium 'Maria' are all flowering sized
