I just got a nice division of a really interesting clone of this cross. I have the common 'Black Magic' clone which does well for me, and when the chance to pick up this very different clone arose I jumped on it. First pic is the plant, second is a bloom pic of the mother plant:

Subrosa, I have a question for you. Is there a sticky, sweet substance anywhere in the lip?

Sorry, at this point I wouldn't know. I just got the division and the flower pic came from the seller.

I ask because this flower looks more like a straight madidum than a Little Black Sambo. When it blooms, look for the sticky nectar in the lip. If a madidum, it will be there. If not, it is probably a LBS with the strong emphasis on the madidum. It certainly does not show the coloring influence or form influence of the canaliculatum however, which most LBS's carry.
