Best Answer

The pink and white lady's slipper (Cypripedium reginae), also knows as the showy lady's slipper or queen's lady slipper, is a rare and beautiful plant. Of all the flowers in Minnesota, many people felt this was the most impressive, so the State Legislature voted to make it the state flower in 1902 and has protected it since 1925. One of the factors that influenced the decision is the uniqueness of the flower. The plants grow to be about four feet tall and can live for 50 years.
