Catasetum Ten Dragons

Thank you all! I am also very happy with this plant. I was expecting something more tending to red... I am curious now to see what the other plant will look like

Yeap! Indeed, like a smiling "Fledermaus"... hhmm... seems to be a nice clonal name for this one: "Fledermaus Sonriente" It'll keet it!

Camille, I think Catasetinae can give the nearest to black flowers within the orchids family (maybe Maxillaria schunkeana being a strong competitor here) You can check for Fredclarkeara After Dark and you will see something really "black"!

Wow the Fredclarkeara After Dark is amazing, Dracula roezlii, Maxillaria schunkeana came up as well is the same google search. I was not aware of any of them till now. I do know of a bat plant that flowers black. Thanks for the information.
