Black Lace ‘Baker’s Dark Angel’ - by Brent Baker

Black Orchid – Fredclarkeara Black Lace ‘Baker’s Dark Angel’ 

In nature, black flowers are rare. The reality is that there is almost no plant in the world that is truly black in color. Most are shades of deep blue or reds or purples. This is also true about orchid flowers. Growers and hybridizers have tried many different orchid plants and hybrid orchid varieties to try to get to a truly black flower.

Among the most notable hybrids (since 2010) with truly black flowers (currently commercially available from Sunset Valley Orchids) you can find Fredclarkeara (Asparagales – Orchidaceae), an intergeneric hybrid between the orchid genera Catasetum, Clowesia and Mormodes. (Ctsm. x Cl. x Morm.).

The Fredclarkeara breeding produces flowers that are fragrant, have lots of color and are long lasting. As you can see on this one in the photo, the Fredclarkeara Black Lace ‘Baker’s Dark Angel’ is indeed black.

Today's adventures: the nursery open day at Chester zoo. They have the national collection of pleurothallids! Only the first flower picture is a pleuro- it's a stelis. Not sure which subspecies. Also pictured are the octopus orchid, a phragmipedium and a catasetum.

Orchid (Catasetum hopkinsonianum) with female flowers.

Note: When grown in bright light the flowers are feminine. With low light the flowers are masculine. And sometimes they produce hermaphrodite flowers, even on the same stem.
