I have heard that someone is successfully cloning or otherwise
reproducing Cypripedium orchids, such as C. acaule and C. calceolus,
with enough success that they are being sold in certain nurseries.
Is this true or is it just a tale concocted to cover the source of
endangered plants stolen from the wild?
