One of the most enchanting species within this group is the Darwin's slipper flower (Calceolaria uniflora), which reveals its true allure when exposed to UV light. Its vibrant colors glow under this special illumination, creating a mesmerizing spectacle for all who behold it. Another intriguing variety is the Ladys purse Calceolaria arachnoidea, characterized by its delicate and intricate flowers resembling tiny purses. These charming blossoms come in various shades and patterns, adding an elegant touch to any garden or floral arrangement. The diversity within the Calceolaria family extends further with other captivating species like the yellow-flowered Calceolaria corymbosa from Chile. Originating from distant lands, these exotic blooms bring a touch of foreign allure to gardens around the world. Amongst their ranks lies the large crenate-flowered slipperwort (Calceolaria crenatiflora), boasting magnificent petals adorned with intricate edges. This particular variety showcases nature's artistry at its finest. In addition to their visual appeal they can often paired with achimenes species due to their complementary features. Together they create breathtaking displays that showcase nature's harmonious collaboration between different plant families. Noteworthy members of this diverse genus include Greenviolet or humpback flower (Hybanthus calceolaria) and Slipperwort (Calceolaria biflora). Each possesses distinct characteristics that contribute to their overall charm and uniqueness. Pinnated slipper-wort (Calceolaria pinnata) stands out among others due to its finely divided leaves that add an extra layer of intricacy to its already stunning appearance.
