Description
This Lady Slipper orchid was taken while visiting the Orchid Show at the Chicago Botanic Garden in Glencoe. Illinois this year.
Lady slipper orchids of the genus Paphiopedilum are among the most desirable flowering plants on earth.
They’re called “lady slippers” or “slipper orchids” because some clever person observed that the pouch “lip” on the flowers resemble lady slippers, and the name stuck! The past 175+ years of breeding have resulted in blooms of incredible color, beauty, and form with the most desirable specimens commanding the highest prices paid of any orchids. I hope you have enjoyed this orchid and thank you for visiting.
