fairy-slipper
A fairy-slipper is a type of orchid, scientifically named Calypso bulbosa, found in undisturbed northern and montane forests across much of the Northern Hemisphere. It is a small colourful flower, often described as resembling a fairy's slipper due to its distinctive and delicate shape. Due to its high sensitivity to ecological changes, the fairy-slipper orchid is considered an indicator species and is protected in many regions.
