Paphiopedilum Lady Slipper Orchids
Common Name: Lady Slipper Orchids
Species: Paphiopedilum spp.
Family: ORCHIDACEAE
Some interestingly coloured Paphiopedilum orchids on show at the Mt. Coot-tha botanical garden orchid show in Brisbane, Australia. The way the lower petals form a cup remind me of pitcher plants (although pitchers aren't derived from a floral structure).
