    Solution

    The lady’s-slipper orchid, once believed extinct in the UK due to over-collection during the Victorian era, was discovered growing wild for the first time in 100 years. While one plant survived since 1930 under protection in the Yorkshire Dales, a new naturally occurring orchid appeared in 2023 due to successful reintroduction efforts.
