Cypripedium calceolus

My babies are here at last and what stunners they are. Look at the hairs and veins on the flower, so amazing. Nature is such a marvel. 😊🙏🏼🌱

Truly a work of art.

Omg .. that’s fantastic 😍😍

Very cool !!! 😎😍

Oh wow, that's gorgeous 💚💚💚

@lexicon @juliesgarden @sherrisgarden @pelly Thank you all so much she’s a beauty and worth the long wait. My favourite orchid. 💚💚💚💚

You're welcome 😘

Very exotic 💕

Amazing looking blooms 💚🤍💚

How wonderful! Very pretty 😊

That is amazing looking!💘😍

Thank you all 😁🙏🏼

My 2 babies one just a bit ahead of the other. 😁

Aren't they cute

They really are beautiful flowers 🤩😍

Beautiful delicate blooms

So much detail and intricacies, like no other! 💚

@laketitlow Wait till I post the next pic tomorrow 😁👍🏼 @KariSamuel Isn’t it just. The inside is amazing 😊

One of my babies opening up to show her face. So excited 😆

Beautiful Christine.. love orchids 🤍💚

@juliesgarden Thank you Julie, me too. This is my favourite and just love the journey it takes to become such a beautiful flower. Can’t wait for them to be fully open 💚

Fascinating detail Christine @pixierose 😍

😂😂😂😂

@mzambz Amber are you seeing something we’re not? 🤔

@pixierose they have cute faces! I think this one might be Dutch with her pigtails and dutch cap 😉😆

@mzambz Yes, you’re right 😆 She takes on many different looks as she takes form. To begin with I always think the flower buds looks like swans 🦢 I wonder what you’ll think 🤔 of when she’s fully open 😂

@juliesgarden @dirtgirlworld @sho47 @gjones @mzambz Thank you 🙏🏼 everyone for your appreciation. I can’t wait for you all to see this wonderful Orchid in all her glory. 😊🙏🏼 When I open the blind this morning she’ll have changed even more over night.

Do you grow these inside?

Oh @mzambz - that made me chuckle! Now I can't unsee that! 😊

@laketitlow I grow it on my kitchen windowsill. It gets very cold at night and warmish in the winter and hot in the summer but it’s very happy.

Getting bigger 😁👏🏼👏🏼

Love the leaves! 😍

Wonderful🦋

@richard.spicer.7906 It’s one of my favourite plants. I love orchids and this one is great to look at when not flowering. @Annettenoosa Thank you 😊 it’s spectacular when fully open. Nearly there. 🙏🏼😁

Gorgeous plant 💚 the buds are beautiful how they nod 😍

Oooh👏👏exciting!!! Can't wait to see🤗

@kez001uk if you look back through the pics you’ll see what it looks like when open unless you want to wait. 😁

@pixierose I already did that earlier 🤭 curiosity got the better of me 😂 it’s so lovely 😍

@kez001uk lolz 😂 I did wonder if you had. Thank you, yes it’s an awesome orchid. One of my favourite. I know what it looks like and I even had a peek back at the pics lolz 😂

Exciting! #anticipation

@pixierose 😂 well I can’t blame you looking back at something so beautiful 😍

@lovestogarden Definitely Janice, I look it everyday and it’s made little changes over night. @kez001uk Yes it’s so stunning, I love it 💚

It’s getting bigger slowly but surely. Also have a phelonopsis (moth orchid) in bud next to it.

2 flower spikes on their way out

Looks like a fine healthy plant Christine your taking great care of it

@alan1111 Thanks 😊 it’s one of my favourites. It’s really easy to look after and I don’t have to do a lot. I do water all my orchids with rainwater and I have special feed for them. So I guess I do a bit lolz 😂

Well whatever you're doing keep it up its loven it 😜

Such a stunning flower 😊🙏🏼

My Slipper orchid has grown the biggest flower this year. The orchid beside it also is bigger and has 4 flower spikes. Must’ve been the great summer.

Fantastic!! I hope you are ok. 🙂

Thanks 🙏🏼 Hun, I’ve been very poorly. I’ve an enlarged bile duct and an enlarged pancreatic duct along with a hiatus hernia and gastritis to go along with all the other problems I have. I must’ve been really bad in a previous life 😐

Sorry you have not been feeling the best. Good to see your posts again. Beautiful orchid.

Wishing you well Christine 💐
