Cypripedium reginae
The Showy Lady's-slipper (''Cypripedium reginae''), also known as the Pink-and-white Lady's-slipper or the Queen's Lady's-slipper, is a rare, terrestrial, temperate, lady's-slipper orchid native to northern North America.
Despite producing a large amount of seeds per seed pod, it reproduces largely by vegetative reproduction,〔Orchids, Faletra et. al 139-143, Feb, 1997〕 and remains restricted to the North East region of the United States and south east regions of Canada. Although never common, this rare plant has vanished from much of its historical range due to habitat loss.〔Sokolski et. al. Selbyana 18(2): 172-182 Axenic Seed Culture and Micropropagation of Cypripedium reginae〕 It has been a subject of horticultural interest for many years with Charles Darwin who like many, were unsuccessful in cultivating the plant.〔
It is the state flower of Minnesota, United States and also the provincial flower of the province of Prince Edward Island, Canada.〔http://www.gov.pe.ca/infopei/index.php3?number=1523&lang=E〕
== Etymology ==
The species name ''reginae'' is Latin for "of a queen". Common names include Fairy Queen, Queen's Lady Slipper, Showy Lady's Slipper, White Wing Moccasin, Royal Lady's Slipper Female, Nervine and Silver-Slipper.
