Lady Slippers is a term used to describe a variety of orchids of the genra Paphiopedilum, Phragmipedium and Cypripedium distinguished by their slipper-shaped pouches.
An orchid of the genus Paphiopedilum
Phragmipedium, found across northern South and Central America, is also easy to cultivate as it requires lower temperatures than the Paphiopedilum, eliminating the need for a greenhouse.
I couldn't find a whole lot of information on Cypripedium, if anyone knows about it, please fix this!
