Cypripedium calceolus | Trentino | June 2018

Lady's-slipper is one of the largest spontaneous orchids growing in Europe. Its reproductive strategy is very interesting: the shape of the labellum has the purpose of trapping insects which must crawl against the stamens to exit. In this way they are filled with pollen.
