Paphiopedilum villosum Common names: Lady’s Slipper Orchid Villose Paphiopedilum Plate 6217

Paphiopedilum villosum, the Lady's Slipper Orchid, is instantly recognizable by its distinctive yellow slipper-shaped pouch and long, twisted red-striped lateral petals—botanical hallmarks of this classic species. The broad, glossy green leaves complete the authentic appearance that has captivated botanists and collectors for nearly two centuries. This hand-colored botanical plate is rendered in the exacting style of Fitch + Brooks, the celebrated partnership whose Paphiopedilum illustrations graced the prestigious Botanical Magazine throughout the 1850s–1870s. A museum-quality study of one of horticulture's most prized orchids, rendered with the precision and artistry that defined Victorian botanical documentation.
