It’s possible, after all, it was an orchid exhibit. I’m not very good with plant names. It looked like a pitcher plant to me, but your suggestion seems more reasonable. Let’s call it a Lady’s Slipper Orchid then.

A couple of orchids at the National Botanical Garden in Washington, DC. They’re like little spies, aren’t they, looking around in all directions, making sure the coast is clear. Just look at them.

Hi Raoul,
Isn’t this an orchid? The lower lobe is like a pitcher plant, but it’s so colourful (not green), and resembles something like a Lady’s Slipper Orchid.
Dig the focus and the strong bokeh.
