Lady Slipper Orchid Art on Canvas in a Maroon Bijou Frame.

This is the largest orchid species in Europe, growing to 60 cm tall with flowers as wide as 9 cm. Before it flowers, it is distinguished from other orchids by the large size.

The Lady Slipper orchid is characterized by their slipper-shaped pouches of the flowers. They trap insects and force them to climb up past its stigma and stamens. In so doing, the insect collects and deposits pollen, which then fertilizes the flower
