Lady's slipper orchids (also known as lady slipper orchids or slipper orchids) are orchids in the subfamily Cypripedioideae, which comprises the genera Cypripedium, Mexipedium, Paphiopedilum, Phragmipedium and Selenipedium. They are characterised by the slipper-shaped pouches (modified labellums) of the flowers – 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.

EXPLORE - 12 Mar 2009 #155 The slipper orchids of the New World (South America to Mexico) are classified under the genus Phragmipedium. About 20 species of these lady's slipper orchids are known from SW Mexico, Central and tropical South America. Most of the species of this group grow in a terrestrial manner. This may be either loose, forest litter or light, friable soils rich in organic matter. Plants can be found in light dappled shade to sometimes full sun. The name of the genus is derived from the Greek phragma, which means "division", and pedium, which means "slipper" (referring to the pouch). It is abbreviated Phrag in trade journals. Unlike the Paphiopedilum (Asian lady slipper orchids), many of the Phrag species are characterized by very subdued colors, mostly greens and browns.
