Thanx for posting, I think Elena or Ron also posted one before. One was up for auction on eBay or Hoosiers but I didn't bite because I don't do well with bulbs!

That looks pretty black! You should show this to Fred Clarke.
Fred Clarke bred some black orchids that got FCC, do you know which type of orchids they are?
By the way I just look at Biothanasis' avatar, that bee orchid looks pretty black too.

Fred's orchids are hybrid combination of Catasetum, Mormodia, and Clowesia. I've seen them in person many times, and they are very black! They are quite showy as the plant can have 4-5 spikes with over 15 flowers each!
The Maxillaria is quite cute but a mini.

Peter's right. Most flowers that are called "black" are really a very dark red or maroon. Some of Fred's Fdk. After Dark hybrids are truly black. I can hardly wait to see one for myself.
