Phal mannii "Black"
This one is fast becoming one of my favorites. I just love the color of this one! I still need to get a normal mannii though. Unfortunately the oldest blooms are already wilting before all the blooms are open (they are veryyyyyy slow to open), I was hoping to see a nice full spike...
Taking decent photos is tough with this one. A black background doesn't work with it, and I'm still not sure if white is the best choice. Maybe I should try again my tan colored wall.

A very striking pattern and color, no matter what background you choose. Love it.

Very nice! I just got a tiny seedling of this cultivar from Big Leaf. It will be at least a year maybe longer before I see any blooms.

Looks edible! And a nice bloom count I think. Do you get the smell with this one? (Though my normal one was only lightly scented in the middle of the day)

PS if the 'wilting' is just the lip turning yellow, don't panic. I found this happened quite fast on mine, but the flowers stayed good overwise for quite a while after.
