Description:
'Paul' is a hybrid between the North American Cypripedium parviflorum var. parviflorum and the Chinese C. franchetii. This cross gives plants with two possible colour variations: lips will be creamy white or creamy yellow onto which is etched beautifully contrasting brick red stripes and speckles with twisted, red sepals.
