The Lady’s Slipper orchid is at the centre of a major security operation as cuttings can change hands for up to £5,000 among collectors.
玉女拖鞋兰因为它具有拖鞋样式的唇瓣，被人们亲切地称为“拖鞋兰”。它是英国最为稀有的花,据悉，拖鞋兰在收藏者之间到手后可卖到5000英镑每株的价格。
The huge operation includes increased patrols at the site at the Silverdale Golf Course in Carnfoth, Lancashire, and the 100-year-old orchid being tagged with a coded security mark. Extra security cameras may also be installed to monitor the plant 24 hours a day.
鉴于它的花期就在本月，英国西北部兰开夏郡的Carnfoth增派了多名警察专门守护这株100多年历史的花，此外摄像头也很有可能会派上用场.
"The Lady’s Slipper orchid is an incredibly important plant, having survived for over 100 years when all other plants were thought extinct,"said PC Tony Marsh, beat manager for the area.
拖鞋兰至今已有200多年的历史，而其它的花均已灭绝.
