Looks like one of those carnivorous plants. Does it serve any purpose for the plant to look like this?
Good question! I did a quick search and found this:
nice. Sounds similar to some flowers with nectar deep inside so that the bees have to get pollen all over them by reaching deep inside.
I had never heard of that before! Thanks for helping me learn something today 💪🧠
Gorgeous!
What a beauty!
Beautiful. The lady slipper orchids are some of my favorite. My dad and I would go orchids hunting and it was always a special experience to find them. We found yellow and pink lady slipper but never showy.
