+'''Paphiopedilum Cam's Cloud''' is a hybrid between [[Paphiopedilum bellatulum]] x [[Paphiopedilum emersonii]].
 ==Culture==
 Keep plants moderately lighted or partially shaded with humidity at 60 to 85% with an intermediate night temperatures of 58F to 62F and day temperatures of 75F to 83F. To induce blooming, with hold watering and maintain a cool temperature, ie. 55F during winter nights and expose plant to 9-12 hours of good lighting every day in the winter. plant grow well in bright light; however to get more indeph flower color grow in shade.

-'''Ophrys apifera''' is a plant of the family Orchidaceae, found in the Mediterranean.
+'''Ophrys apifera''''' ''('''Bee Orchid''') is a plant of the family Orchidaceae, found in western and central Europe, the Mediterranean region, and east through Turkey to the Caucasus.
 ==Distribution==
-Ophrys apifera is a perennial, temperate climate species of orchid generally found growing on semi-dry turf, on limestone, calcareous dunes or in open areas in woodland at around 1800 meters in elevation. The Bee Orchid is a common plant around the Mediterranean eastwards to the Black Sea but is less common in its northern range being uncommon or local in Germany and Ireland. In the UK it has a distinct western preference being more common in Wales where it is often found on sand dunes. In some countries the plants have protected status.
+''Ophrys apifera'' is a perennial, temperate climate species of orchid generally found growing on semi-dry turf, on limestone, calcareous dunes or in open areas in woodland, from sea level up to around 1800 metres in elevation. The Bee Orchid is a common plant around the Mediterranean eastwards to the Black Sea but is less common in its northern range being uncommon or local in Germany and Ireland. In the UK it has a distinct southern preference being more common in southern England, but spreading north in recent decades with colonisation of Northumberland (often on old mine spoil heaps and other semi-reclaimed industrial sites) and also one site in southern Scotland. In some countries the plants have protected status. The Bee Orchid is the county flower of Bedfordshire.
 ==Description==
-They are unusual in that in some years they appear in great numbers, then sometimes only reappear after an absence of many years. This hardy orchid grows to a height of 30 cm. They live in a symbiotic relationship with mycorrhiza ( a soil-dwelling fungus).

-The Bee Orchid develops small rosettes of leaves in autumn. They slowly continue to grow during winter. Flowers appear the following year. Each year, it produces from one to ten flowers on a spike, blooming from June to July. The flowers are almost exclusively self-pollinating in the northern ranges of the plants distribution, pollination by the solitary bee Eucera occurs sometimes in the Mediterranean area. The petals are marginal and spread out, colored mauve to pink. The flower is furry to the touch and is quite variable in the pattern of coloration, but usually brownish-red with yellow markings. The alternate leaves are elliptical and pointed.
+The Bee Orchid develops small rosettes of leaves in autumn. They slowly continue to grow during winter. The leaves are alternate, elliptical and pointed. Flowers appear the following year. Each year, it produces from one to ten flowers on a spike, blooming from June to July. The flowers are almost exclusively self-pollinating in the northern ranges of the plant's distribution, while pollination by the solitary bee ''Eucera'' occurs in the Mediterranean area. The sepals are marginal and spread out, coloured mauve to pink, often with a greenish central line. The flower lip is furry to the touch and is quite variable in the pattern of coloration, but is usually brownish-red with yellow markings.
-Bees in the past have caused the evolution of bee orchids. Male bees, over many generations of cumulative orchid evolution, have built up the bee-like shape through trying to copulate with flowers, and hence carrying pollen. The Bee Orchid is the county flower of Bedfordshire.
+The pollinia are produced on the inner face of a greenish column overhanging the lip, ready to deposit the pollen on visiting bees. ''Eucera'' bees in the past have influenced the evolution of bee orchids. Male bees, over many generations of cumulative orchid evolution, have favoured plants with the most female-bee-shaped lip through trying to copulate with flowers, and hence carrying pollen.
 ==Culture==
-Plants prefer well-drained low-fertility soils and areas with partial shade. Plants are very sensitive to the addition of fertilizers or fungiscides and transplanting because it kills symbiotic fungus. The plant is usually propagated through seed culture. This species is cool growing but not cold tolerant. Divide plant when flower fades.
