Orchids are considered by many botanists to be highly evolved plants, but it’s really an educated guess. This orchid seems to be highly evolved, however. When I first saw this slipper orchid with its large striped leaves, it reminded me of the ruler of some exotic kingdom, adorned in a crown and flowing robe. Paphiopedilum orchids originate in the Far East, where they grow in the shade of rainforest. The name Paphiopedilum was derived from the Greek Paphos, a city on the island of Cyprus, and pedilon, which means slipper. These orchids are called lady slippers because of the flower's pouch. The pouch has a practical purpose, however. Insects that fall into the pouch are covered with pollen, which helps the plant reproduce.
