The Paphiopedilum (paff-ee-oh-PED-ih-lum) orchid gets its nickname ‘Lady’s Slipper Orchid’ from the unique slipper-shaped blooms it produces. Generally, the blooming season for Paphiopedilum orchids starts in autumn and goes through spring. The blooms are long-lasting and typically stay in bloom for about 6-8 weeks. The flowers come in many different sizes, shapes, and colors.
Paphiopedilum orchids are divided into two main groups. The first group is mottled-leaf and the second is strap-leaf multiflorals. Mottled-leaf Paphiopedilums have beautiful spotted foliage that is sometimes compared to a marble-like pattern. Strap-leaf Paphiopedilums have a solid green foliage and have the ability to produce many flowers all at once.
