*5. Yellow and Purple Laddy Slipper
This flower is a rare type of orchid that lives in England and some European regions guys! The lower part of the petal forms an area in the form of a hole that resembles a shoe, so that the origin of the name 'slipper' in this orchid is the origin. They are so rare that botanists think they were extinct until 1917 when a plant was discovered in England growing on a golf course and ending the statement that orchids are rare guys, thank God! Now, because of the scarcity, the protected interest in the Wildlife and Countrside Act of 1981 continues to be the target of smugglers to cut the interest until now there are only 6 guys left, only six are blooming! Hopefully it won't be extinct!

However, after its use in the medical field was found to be a massive hunt so that in its habitat in Sri Lanka it was scarce and in Orissa India it was almost extinct.

The flower from our neighboring country of the Philippines has a green mint guys so it makes it very interesting and unique! This flower dangles almost one meter long. Jade Vine itself is included in the legume family, but its habitat in tropical forests makes it very vulnerable because of deforestation or logging of trees for timber and followed by changes in land use as well.
