This is a breathtaking Phragmipedium hybrid from the cross of Phrag. Hanne Popow x Phrag. Fritz Schomburg, selected for its exceptionally bold, saturated color. The large, symmetrical flowers display deep fuchsia-red petals with a warm salmon-pink pouch — an intense and uniform coloration rarely seen in slipper orchids.
