Is it really an orchid and not lady’s slipper

It is a Paphiopedilum, but I can't remember the exact kind. I took the the shot in the Botanical Garden of the Wilhelma in Stuttgart.

Our American Ladyslipper is a member of the orchid family so Elizane is close!

In Germany it has the name Frauenschuh, which is Ladyslipper too :-)

Beautiful flower and fantastic shot!

Thank you!
