It is an enchanting orchid species native to Brazil. Renowned for its dark and dramatic blooms, it's often referred to as the "Black Orchid." The deep, almost velvety, purple-black flowers contrast with its green foliage, creating a captivating visual impact. C. tenebrosa is a sought-after addition to orchid enthusiasts' collections, offering a unique and mysterious charm.
Very healthy with three new gross. I’m very pleased.
Arrived in good shape with instructions for initial care. Am anxious to see first blooms that should appear in a year judging from size of plant. Am very satisfied with quality of plant and price.
Very healthy and full of vigor. Multiple new growths!
Very healthy mature seedling, time will tell with the culture being given!
Very happy with this plant and the service we received from staff.
After I ordered Munekazu Ejiri I was told that it and one more Fragmipedilum are sold out. I asked to cancel all my order so I can get the plants directly from Ecuador when the weather is not hot. Then suddenly both of those were magically found. I received broken orchids that lost turgor and with no roots. The velamen just went of all the roots without me using any tools. The first picture shows the comparison of this one with Phragmipedilum Apollo I've got from Ecuador in April. I presented it because it contradicts the management statement about the poor conditions of those two plants that "temperature changes, transit time, and the shipping process itself can cause some degree of stress to the plants".
I ,received a very nice plant, after 2 months roots starts to grow , means she adapted to the Belgian climate. Now waithing for the first flowers.
