Okay , bad jest , but wow ! That is an literal dame slider orchidaceous plant — pink noblewoman slipper to be accurate ( Cypripediumacaule , Zones 3–8 ) .
Here is just the orchid itself . It is a native wildflower determine over a extensive range of easterly North America , usually in dry woods and usually under pines . These aboriginal orchids are implausibly beautiful , but they are not always well-situated to find in the wild . And if youdofind them in the wild , be sure to go out them be . aboriginal orchids have very specific cultural demand and close symbiotic relationship with soil fungi , so they seldom do well when transplant from their godforsaken home ground into a garden .
And if you are favorable enough to have these beauties growing around you , well , you could enjoy make silly puns with them .
