Phragmipedium

Phragmipedium – the New World's answer to slipper orchids. These captivating plants stretch across Mexico, Central and South America, earning their "slipper" nickname from the distinctive pouched lip that gives each flower its signature look.

The name itself tells a story: phragma (Greek for "division") refers to their unique three-chambered ovary, while pedium means "slipper" – a perfect description of that iconic pouch-like lip petal. See more in our Care & Culture Guide here...
