slipper orchids in the garden
Cypripedioideae is a subfamily of orchids commonly known as lady's slipper orchids, lady slipper orchids or slipper orchids. They are characterised by the slipper-shaped pouches (modified labella) of the flowers ââ¬â the pouch traps insects so they are forced to climb up past the staminode, behind which they collect or deposit pollinia, thus fertilizing the flower.
