蘭花」。它的白色大背萼片上有著鮮明的紫色條紋,形態優美如仙子,令人聯想起夢幻的維多利亞時代淑女。

The critically endangered Paphiopedilum fairrieanum was named after English Orchid Enthusiast R. Fairrie, first exhibited in the 1800s.

Recognisable by its distinctive large white and boldly purple striped dorsal sepal, it captivates with its elegance, reminiscent of dreamy Victorian-dressed ladies, evoking a fairy-like beauty.
