Lady's Slipper

Here is my favorite orchid among the thousands at my friend's orchid place in deep South Miami, Banjong Orchids. This is a Paphiopedilum, commonly known as a lady's slipper orchid. He (and Tog) gave me many paphs over the years. I was never able to flower them, not even once, so I gave up on this genus.
