Hi Patrick,

I am a new gardener. You were the only one I noticed posting from zone 4 and I joined this forum just to be able to talk to you. I would dearly love one of your Cypripediums, if you are willing to let me have one.

Currently I only have Ostrich ferns and tons of Lillies of the Valley. There are mature elms and oaks all over our neighborhood and my yard is almost completely shade. I hope to develop a native garden area, like you are doing.
