Lady's slipper (wild species outside the common shoe store)

Cypripedium calceolus - - - Gelber Frauenschuh

Last Sunday, in the same nature reserve where we found the fly & spider orchids as well as the military orchids, we detected five flourished blossoms of the very rare and endangered Lady's slipper orchid.

By the way: The Lady's slipper is orchid of the year 2010


Orchidee des Jahres 2010

That doesn't interest the snail in the orchid's neighborhood in the slightest.
