The Alliance is dedicated to slipper orchid conservation, preservation, and education, including cypripedium, paphiopedilum, phragmipedium, and selenipedium orchids. Our goal is to foster understanding of all genera and species of lady slipper orchids, as well as their conservation in their natural habitats and under cultivation. The Alliance directly, and through its members, promotes scientific and horticultural studies of slipper orchid species and their hybrids, and exchanges information at regional, national and international forums and seminars. Among the objectives of the Alliance are to work in concert with other orchid organizations to serve as a information repository or center and as an advocate for the safekeeping of lady slipper orchids and their natural habitats. During 2001, we will continue to advance these goals and objectives.
Membership is open to everyone interested in lady slipper orchids.
