Lady’s slipper orchid
Bílé stráně near Litoměřice is one of the few places where this severely endangered plant thrives. To survive in the České středohoří , lady’s slipper orchid needs broadleaved dry grasslands and the presence of symbiotic fungi in the soil. There are usually 1 - 2 flowers on the caulis, which first bloom after 16 years. It is thanks to its flower that the lady’s slipper orchid is so attractive. Its shape resembles not only a lady’s shoe but also tropical orchid species.
