just got a catasetum Fredclarkeara After Dark
 

Lala la la la, lol! Ahh always a good day when you find a new catasetum! Its by Shermantp the seller I received my frilly Doris from. The description said that this one has not bloomed yet so it shall have to reamain a mystery! I am not sure I care for this!!:rofl:

That is exciting!
It is on my wish list.

I found it by chance today for 15! Whoop whoop! It could be spotted or dark

Dave is a great seller and I've been very happy with my purchases from him. I'm sure you'll love you plant upon arrival.

I thought it was pitch black flower?
At least that is what is on my wish list. lol

I hope you have a nice surprise in the near future.

My frilly Doris is possibly shooting off a new spike not sure yet. But they are so awesome. Thats why I keep an eye on them on ebay. The one I really want is the one that looks like it has a face? I cant think the name off the top of my head. But the bids become so outrageous everytime I bid I give up the last one was probably 2 more years from blooming and the bids b4 shipping got to 40 dollars and it was a 1/3 my other 2 now....

The cheapest of the total black flowers I have found was 105 on ebay. Yikes!

Wow, that is a lot.
Just get a bunch of black tulip bulbs. lol

Ugh tulips and I dont get along... not cold enough for them to rebloom. I have some dark blooming irises though. So that helps! Lol

By rebloom I mean be perinneal instead of annual...
