This is what I call a black orchid! This clone 'Pérola Negra' (Black Pearl) of Maxillaria schunkeana is one of the darkest I know. The flower is, by all means, a black flower, although we know that, actually, the true coloration is a dark, dark, dark wine. It is a Brazilian small plant native of the State of Espírito Santo.
