That is Fred Clarke himself... Last I spoke to him, he was out. I believe he is mericloning his best and they will be available soon. Maybe already, it has been a while since I've been in touch with him.

Highly recommended, he is an excellent grower and an all around nice person.

Well of course there is nothing in nature that is truly black. The Paphiopedilum Hybrids that have wardii and a vini color (with the vini genes expressed) have almost flat black appearing petals. I do agree that the Fredclarkeara's come closest to anything I have seen.

It may not be "true black" but:
Sunset Valley Orchids - Grower and hybridizer of quality orchids, Vista CA

I also occasionally come across very dark colmanara (I have a colmanara massai 'red' that is extremely dark).

Dunno if you're still looking for black orchids, but I did happen to get an email from Fred the other day - he will be offering some crosses the After Dark as a parent soon.
