Description
Paphiopedilums hold a special place in the affections of orchid lovers. For the grower they exhibit several readily appreciated virtues: they are exotic to look at; they produce large flowers on small plants; there are almost 70 known species all of which might be grown in a relatively small greenhouse; many species are rare in the wild and consequently they have acquired investment value; and finally despite 175 years of searching new species are still being discovered. It is therefore not surprising that they are, and have been one of the most popular of all orchid groups.
