Lady's Slipper Orchid- an exotic and rare species

            Singapore Botanic Gardens- pic 82 of 98:  I thought I was done with the exotic highland Orchid varieties and was dreading the prospect of leaving the cool air conditioned confines of the Sembcorp Coolhouse in the National Orchid Garden in Singapore when I came across this. This is the Lady's Slipper Orchid- an exotic and rare species of the flower. The sign is fairly comprehensive and is self explanatory if viewed in full screen or expanded mode. A picture of this exotic Orchid appears immediately after this. (see next picture in this album).  Providing a few minutes of welcome air conditioning, the Sembcorp Coolhouse tries to recreate the environment of a tropical highland forest and showcases Orchids that are normally only found in the cool tropical highland areas.The National Orchid Garden in Singapore houses the largest Orchid collection of 1,200 species and 2,000 hybrids. Notes about the National Orchid Garden appeared earlier in this album. (see previous pictures). (Singapore, Sept. 2023)
