EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor depicts Cypripedium reginae, commonly known as the Ladies Slipper Orchid. The painting, created by the skilled hand of Franz Andreas Bauer around 1810-1840, showcases the orchid's unique beauty with its pink and white petals forming a graceful slipper-like pouch. Although the label on the original plate reads Cypripedium spectabile, the current accepted name of this orchid is Cypripedium reginae. The Ladies Slipper Orchid is a rare and prized flowering plant belonging to the Orchidaceae family, specifically the Cypripedioideae subfamily. It is an angiosperm, a type of flowering plant that produces seeds enclosed in an ovary. As a monocotyledon, it is a member of the monocot class, characterized by a single cotyledon in the seed. The Ladies Slipper Orchid is native to North America and is known for its distinctive, slipper-shaped pouch that surrounds its column. This feature is thought to help the orchid attract pollinators, such as bees and flies, which are attracted to the nectar inside the pouch. The intricate details of the orchid's petals and veins are expertly captured in Bauer's watercolor, providing a stunning representation of this rare and beautiful plant. The painting is held in the Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London, a testament to the importance of botanical illustrations in documenting and preserving the natural world.
