Cypripediums are the Lady's slipper orchids so-called because of the shape fo the lower lip which is pouch- or slipper-like; above the pouch are 3 gently curling tepals. They are terrestrial orchids and are hardy, requiring a shady spot.

Cypripedium reginae has white tepals and a pink-flushed pouch.
