Monto Lady's Slipper Orchid, Frosh Garden Orchids
Cypripedium Monto (Lady’s Slipper Orchid) is a deciduous, hardy orchid noted for its large, egg-sized flowers.

The sophisticated flowers are borne on upright stems above the foliage of oval, prominently veined leaves. Monto is an orchid hybrid from Germany’s Werner Frosch that results from a cross between the Chinese Cypripedium fasciolatum and Cypripedium macranthos. Its exceptionally large flowers, together with strong stems, are guarantee of viewing enjoyment in either the garden or patio containers.
