SO, I met Fred Clarke tonight at the Tucson Orchid Society and he had some freclarklaria for sale. He is the only person credited with actually "creating" a black orchid. He showed some pictures.... stunning. it does look to be truly black because there were no red hues at all at the pictures he showed us that were taken in bright light.

Too bad he can't bottle the smell...it's great.
