Cymbidium or Cypripedium - WHAT?

Can you tell them apart?  Which is the Cymbidium and which is the Cypripedium?

Picking out florals for your event can be a difficult task if you don't know what you like, what you don't like, or what's out there for you to choose from.  Even I have a hard time with types and availability of flowers - It's Greek to me.

When attending the ISES Special Event in San Diego one of the floral booths had a GREAT resource.  Check out this website from International Floral Distributors Inc. and go to the "Flower Search" page or "Flower Gallery" link.  Here you can  peruse thru flowers you might like, or even not know about that are in season and match your colors for your event.  

Could you guess which was which between the two?

Cypripedium is the first one, and Cymbidium the second one on the stem....
