I’m usually an advocate for “big is better”, but I must say I’m becoming a fan of the small-flowered ladyslipper orchids. Take, for example Cyp. ‘Hank Small’; a hybrid between the Chinese species Cyp. henryi (Hank) and our native small (Small) flowered yellow ladyslipper, Cyp. parviflora v. parviflorum. It is just cute as a bug, and makes up for the smallness of its slippers by usually having a pair on each stalk.
