Slipper Orchid (Paphiopedilum Leeanum)

The Slipper Orchid is one of the most distinctive and highly collectible members of the orchid world. Named for its unique, pouch-like lower petal that resembles a slipper, this terrestrial orchid offers an exotic look that instantly upgrades any indoor collection.

This specimen is an established "Green-Strap" variety with a compact, "sessile" bloom habit. The flower sits neatly against the lush green strap-shaped foliage, creating a clean and symmetrical silhouette that is perfect for desk or shelf display.
