An excellent source of high quality plants and one which will ship, aside from SBOE, is Casa de las Orquideas in Solana Beach, Ca. Visit their website and I think you will find some awesome reds which may meet your criteria.
Hello, is anyone aware where I could currently get one of these flowers, blooming or ready to bloom? I'd pay almost any price. It's a particular need for a very special project.

Old thread... not sure if you are looking for a particular Cymbidium (specific cultivars of specific crosses that were readily available 7 years ago are likely not available now) but if you are just looking for a blooming Cym, Santa Barbara Orchid Estate or Casa de las Orquideas may be able to help you. However, it is still very early in the Cymbidium season - some, that have some of the warmer-growing species in their background, are blooming or getting ready to bloom, but most won't start doing much until November or December, most of the reds likely are even later.

Hi! So sorry for that lack of clarity.

I am looking for a cymbidium kiwi midnight 'geyserland' currently or soon in bloom.

It is for a very special photography project for which I need a black orchid. I think it almost definitely would have to be a cymbidium, and that so far is the only species I've seen that has the exact aesthetic I'd need, but I am also interested in others perhaps.

Do you know where else I might ask in order to find one?

You'll just have to get lucky... some are in collections, people make divisions. Some just get donated to societies, some may get sold on eBay.

Also, this particular one (even if you could find one) won't be in bloom now... they typically bloom in the spring, like February or March.

I see. Thanks for all the info.
Anything come to mind when you think of 'black cymbidium orchid currently in bloom'?

In general, the reds (and the very dark ones are really dark burgundy rather than really "black") are relatively late bloomers - I would assume that it has to do with the genetics, the species in the background of the various hybrids contribute bloom time among other characteristics such as size, shape, and color. That's why with a big collection, one can have Cyms - different plants, different colors - in bloom from October or November to May or even June. (I only have about one or two Cymbidium-less months) You can't argue with Mother Nature....

So true!

Well, if a thought comes to mind suggesting an orchid that might be seen to have a lusty darkness about it (even emotionally / aesthetically / metaphorically speaking, rather than necessarily being super dark in literal color), a lustily dark orchid that is currently in bloom or soon to bloom, please let me know about it!

Orchids are a commitment... not a manufactured product. In fact, for most orchid people, the thought that one might buy one in bloom to be an ornament and then toss it like a Christmas Poinsettia, is painful. Most of us got our start nurturing cast-off Phalaenopsis (or no-name Cymbidiums) . You need to love them out of bloom, too... and then the reward of having one flower under your care may lead to an orchid addiction.

I did not ever say I was going to discard it, did I?

I am a lifelong lover of flowers and an herb grower myself.

I just said there is a project I must see through this month which requires a lustily dark flower!
