Cypripedium calceolus, commonly known as the Lady's Slipper Orchid or Yellow Lady's Slipper, is a captivating and rare wildflower found in Europe and parts of Asia. Renowned for its stunning appearance, the flower boasts a unique slipper-shaped lip that lures pollinators, making it an essential part of local ecosystems.
