My black-flowered orchid is about to bloom again! The pictures don't quite do it justice, and it's also difficult to convey the sweet/freshly crushed peppercorn scent the way it is experienced up close. All the same, I'll post my pics when it has really begun to put on a show, here is how it looked the last time:

WoW! Those black flowers have an ominous look to them.
Even the flower stems turn black in places...
...like a black Twizzlers licorice stick.

Can't believe how black those flowers are Cole...
...like kettle calling the pot black.
Beautiful indeed!

Thanks! Its fragrance has come out today, it smells like fresh-ground peppercorns, only sweet!

Thanks, I can't wait until my FDK After Dark "Black Pearl" flowers!
Can someone fix the image link in the beginning of the thread that Justin screwed up? I'm unable to edit and fix his "mistake" at this point.
