Hi Hakone,That's actually a C. lichiangense rather than lentiginosum, lovely plant and flower anyway though.Cheers,Alex
Cypripedium lichiangense in process
One important distinctive feature is that the petals are approximately twice as long as the lip in lentiginosum, and only 3 to 2 compared to the lip in lichiangense.
This is cyp hybrid pixi and it has always grown quickly from when it started to flower in 2008 with two stems.There are now about eighty five shoots and fifty one flowers.Maybe next year it will have over 100!Davif

I would say that Hakone interpretation seems to be correct from the pictures, but it is very difficult to estimate it from the pictures only.On last thing: if evaluating on the base of the leaves only, it is important to keep into the equation also daweishanense. If you use also the petals vs. lip length then you can exclude both.
