DRACULA VAMPIRA
 

Look what I bought.... a really nice VAMPIRA.... The flower complete enters in an A4 sheet.... Is a Monster!!!!.... I have the D. Gigas and is not so big.... Is beautifull!!!! Someone tells me that there´s a Vampira totaly black.... I´m searching....

Wow, that's impressive!

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

Gorgeous!

I saw that Dracula in orchidspecies... is amazing!!!! And is so big tooo.... Maybe (whit luck) i can get that one... or a darker Vampira.... Maybe.... I´m searching.....
is funny This orchid specie is from Ecuador and the colombian are selling it.... really funny!!!!

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!

great!!!!!!!!
