Particularly in regions like the Himalayas and the Philippines, this species of plant can be found in the wild. Its nickname 'Lady Slipper' is owed to the Paphiopedilum's flower shape, which bears resemblance to an elegant lady's shoe.

Characteristics
The Paphiopedilum Pinocchio mix is an attractive plant due to its unique physical characteristics. The plant is characterised by its glossy, deep-green leaves and striking flowers. These flowers, ranging in colour from white to deep purple, have an unusual design with a distinctive slipper or pouch-shaped lip.
