Wow! that's fabulous! I don't think there are any true black orchids, but some are so dark they are 'almost' black. I don't know if any are 'blacker' than what you have - tho I am sure breeding is being done in an attempt to accomplish it, so just keep looking  |

There's a really dark one called Dracula ubangina that's available from Colomborquideas via Colombian Orchid Imports. http://www.colombianorchidimports.co...s/ubangina.jpg |

Really cool flower.
Not usually a Dracular fan but I do like the look of this one.

Really beautiful flower!! I know it's huge, so I bought one Vampira... the only trouble I'm having is to keep the sphagnum moss moist all the time while keeping the plant in an "open" pot (with vertical slits). I know Dracula is from highlands and live in lowland, so I got 85% humidity and breeze, but temps are really high in late spring/ summer (even +90ºF); I hope keeping them in shade and moist moss will be enough!
