Lady's slipper (Cypripendium sp.) orchid

Description: Lady's slipper orchid (Cypripedium sp.). Its habitat includes fens, bogs and moist meadows. It is grown as a garden plant for its shaped flowers, which attract pollinating insects such as bees. The twisted shape of the flower forces insects to follow a specific path as they collect nectar. This route results in the insect pushing against the flower's reproductive organs and thus collecting or transferring pollen.
