The name and graphic theme of the courtyard is derived for the orchid Cypripedium calceolus L. which can be found regionally in some native, moist and shady locales. This perennial is 15 - 40 cm in height and the bulbous 'slipper' part of our common Lady Slipper Orchid is yellow. The narrow conjoined sepals are a purplish-brown.
