Synopsis
Excerpt from Nature Study, Vol. 3: Published Under the Auspices of the Manchester Institute of Arts and Sciences
There is nothing in the shape of the flower called the pink lady-slipper to suggest the name. The showy part of the flower is a pouch with a closed but easily opened fissure down the whole length in front. In the yellow spe cies the corresponding part is really shaped like a Slipper, or rather a baby's sock. In France the flowers are called les sabots de la Vierge. The large opening in the top has its raison d'etre, as we shall see when we come to consider the parts of the flower and their uses. A similar construction of the slipper is found in C. Spectabile, while in C. Arietinum the extremity or toe is so pointed as to have suggested the common name, ram's head.
