In my friend’s woodland garden in Nova Scotia, Canada, the Cypripedium parviflorum var. parviflorum (yellow lady’s slipper orchid, slipper root) was flowering. This native, deciduous orchid thrives in moist, fertile, humus-rich soil in a sheltered site with partial shade and an annual winter mulch of leaf mould.

Phragmipedium Schroderae.
Finally I saw wild Phragmipedium in its natural habitat: Czerwiakow's Phragmipedium (Phragmipedium boissierianum var. czerwiakowianum), in northern Peru.

A hybrid of Cypripedium kentuckiense is Cypripedium 'Kentucky Pink’ (slipper orchid), a hardy, multi-stemmed, herbaceous perennial. The ideal growing conditions are a sheltered, shady site on a sandy soil. Posting early as I’m off to the RHS Chelsea Show tomorrow with a dawn start!

In case it slipped your mind, this slipper orchid is reminding you that half-price admission continues at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden through the end of February. It’s the perfect was to get a tropical escape from winter without even leaving #RVA ! ❄️🌸 📷 @tjhennessy01 @visitvirginia @visitrichmondva #plants #nature #beautybreak #orchid #slipperorchid #latergrsm #pink #flowerstagram #flowers (at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden)
