Paphiopedilum Orchids

The Paphiopedilum  or Lady Slipper Orchids, are my absolute favorite type of orchid. I think it is because of their unique shape which are slightly insect like that I find them so fascinating. There are about 80 different species of the Paphiopedilum Orchid and they are native to South China, India, Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands.

Here are some pictures of the different Paphiopedilum Orchids at the current Phipps flower show.
