    About Our Black Orchid
    1888Orchids.com is proud to have this orchid available year around. We grow three varieties of orchids - all of them are Phalaenopsis types: 1) Phalaenopsis Ever spring Prince "Black Bird," Phalaenopsis Ever spring Prince "Black Eagle" and Phalaenopsis Ever spring Prince "Black Jack." The flowers on all these orchids are black or a very dark maroon. At first glance, the orchid definitely appears black. The buds are usually black with a mixture of green so the buds look black and slightly gray. The flowers are waxy and hard to the touch. We combine our orchids with either a black pot or planter and black bamboo. The result is a very special orchid gift.

    More Information About Black Orchids
    One of the darkest black orchids I have seen was a freak of nature. The name of the orchid is Paphiopedilum Astro Boy (Makuli x rothschildianum). This is a rare lady slipper orchid but it is not a black orchid. The flowers of this lady slipper type orchid resemble Paphiopedilum St. Swithin but this orchid was definitely black. Here is a picture of the orchid.


    After searching the Internet for a black orchid, here is a list of true black orchids I found.

    Encyclia cochleata - the national flower of Belize, is known locally as the �black orchid�
    Telipogon portillae from Ecuador is also a very black orchid
    Dracula vampira has petals and can be classified as a black orchid
    D. roezlii
    Polystachya transvaalensis (now a synonym of P. nigrescens)
    Liparis nigra
    Ophrys insectifera (fly orchid) have deep violet-black lips.

    �Black� hybrids also include...
    Paphiopedilum Gaulois �Grandee�

    Black Orchid April 14, 2008
    Reviewer: David Bowman from San Diego, CA United States  
    I have ordered orchids from you in the past but my last order was of a black orchid and it is still in bloom and I came back to your web page to look to see if you still had it and I am writing a comment to tell you how happy I am with this orchid.  It is really black and it came in a black pot just like you show.  I like anything black and this is a truly a great gift.  I like it a lot.
    PS I will stop by to see you some day.
