Did you know that the Gaelic for cuckoo is ‘Brog na Cuthaige’(cuckoo’s shoe)?

Cypripedium calceolus (guckosko [gucko’s shoe])

The Swedish name guckusko comes from gucku, variant form of kucku (= gök = Cuculus canorus, EN. ‘cuckoo’) och sko (‘shoe’), from the flower’s shape.

Edit: Added the correct ISO 639‑1 code.
