Description Lady Slipper orchid.

I was a bit disappointed this year that only three blooms came out. Last year there were about fifteen! They're great flowers to have as they are out for ages! (and I don't have to do a lot to look after them! lol)

I have still got two flowers Sam. It is surprising how long they last!

Are they self pollinating or is it done by insects?

I'm pretty sure it's by insects Sam.

Okay. Some of them don't, I know bee orchids don't.

I don't know much about orchids Sam. I just leave the pot out in the garden, then bring it into my sunroom when the buds form. (lol Lazy gardening!)

I read it in a wild flower book. I don't know if it's the same for all orchids - maybe I'll have to look that up to Β

Exotic? lol I don't know about that Jen. Lady sipper orchids are the easiest orchids to grow. I don't do anything except move them into the sunroom when they come out.

Well, they look very exotic or different to me. Given my little knowledge of flowers most look very different to me... lol! They are very beautiful flowers and you captured a fantastic photo of it! 😊
