Paphiopedilum, found in the tropical forests of Southeast Asia reaching as far north as southern China, are commonly known as Slipper Orchids. Paphiopedilums are quite easy to cultivate and therefore popular among orchid enthusiasts. Depending on where you are growing them in NZ you can grow them outdoors in sheltered, shady corners of your garden, or indoors in the cooler parts of the house.
