For over a century, orchid growers have hybridized Lady Slippers to create countless new varieties. Now, the most important Paph hybrids have been identified by orchid experts.<\/a> Each of these historic crosses has its own legacy, and many contribute their prized genes to modern hybrids sold today. This decade-by-decade list was assembled as part of the Phipps-Orchid Society Initiative (P-OSI.) It’s a joint project between Phipps Conservatory\u00a0and Botanical Gardens<\/a> in Pittsburgh and the Orchid Society of Western Pennsylvania<\/a>. P-OSI’s goals are to improve Phipps’ current orchid holdings, and to create a world-class Lady Slipper collection. Phipps is now beginning to acquire these important plants. They are starting with Paphs<\/a>, and will include other Lady Slippers like Phrags and Cyps<\/a> in the future.
