Hook reference and citation check. Article length, references, and neutral with no policy issues. Image good. --Kev min § 13:25, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

I would suggest a slight rewording for the hook to avoid having Sparrows egg twice: alt1 ~~"... that Cypripedium passerinum (pictured) is a lady's slipper orchid that resembles a sparrow's egg?"~~

But that would defeat the purpose of the hook's wordplay. Let's go with the original hook :-) Rcej (Robert) – talk 04:25, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
