lady's slipper
A lady's slipper is a term used to describe a group of orchids belonging to the subfamily Cypripedioideae. Known for their unique shape resembling a woman's slipper, these plants are typically characterized by the pouch-like structure of their flowers which trap insects to aid in pollination. They are found in a wide range of habitats across the globe and many species are threatened due to habitat destruction and over-collection. Their unusual shape and striking colors make them highly sought after by plant enthusiasts.
Webster Dictionary
Lady's slipper
any orchidaceous plant of the genus Cypripedium, the labellum of which resembles a slipper. Less commonly, in the United States, the garden balsam (Impatiens Balsamina)
