Laelia tenebrosa "Valpota's night"
This is an orchid I dreamed of for a long time then finally bought last year. It's now its first homemade bloom.
Its coulours are more darker and intense in reality

Very nice!
It's hard for me to photograph and capture the true color also.

Thanks Laura, Mary and Kim
I hava also a "regular" tenebrosa not yet blooming size, there are so many varieties of tenebrosa that one could want them all! To my knowledge, and speaking of Europe, the Valpota's is the darkest one
