A beautiful stand of blooming Cypripedium reginae, commonly known as showy lady’s slipper orchids, rises from a shaded forest floor. These striking North American native orchids have white petals and deep pink pouch-like lips, framed by lush green leaves and ferns. Their endangered status and specific habitat needs make them a rare sight in the wild. This image captures both their beauty and fragility—an ideal symbol for ethical rare plant cultivation efforts.
