Phragmipedium Majestic Tresses is a stunning inverse hybrid resulting from the cross of Phragmipedium giganteum x Phragmipedium Fortuna. This particular cross flips the parentage of the more commonly seen Fortuna x giganteum, creating subtle but notable differences in flower form, vigor, and presentation. The result is a graceful and eye-catching slipper orchid that lives up to its name.
This hybrid showcases tall, elegant inflorescences bearing multiple sequential blooms, often with rich, rose-pink to magenta hues that blend the deep coloration of giganteum with the refined form and bloom frequency of Fortuna. The flowers are large and long-petaled, with flowing, cascading side petals that give the appearance of silken ribbons or tresses—hence the name.
Majestic Tresses is known for its robust growth and tolerance of a range of intermediate to warm growing conditions. Like most Phragmipediums, it enjoys ample moisture, high humidity, and bright filtered light. Given the right conditions, it can remain in bloom for extended periods, making it a standout specimen in any orchid collection.
This inverse hybrid is a perfect choice for collectors who appreciate the architectural beauty and persistent flowering of Phragmipediums, while also seeking a unique twist on a classic cross.
