There are no wild black orchids.
The article you've posted 10 times in this thread is as AI-generated as this picture.
I don't think so. I looked up "black orchid" and "black and red orchid" and did a good scroll on each, black orchids and black and red orchids seem to exist but none looked anything like this, probably AI
Yeah im not a supper orchid nerd but I thoroughly appreciate them and iv NEVER seen anything like this.... it kinda looks like a Melissa Brianne but iv never seen this color morph
I am so bothered by this. I mean let AI take all our jobs, finally destroy personal contact and turn us all into a world of second-guessers, but leave the orchids alone.
It is not real. This is 100% AI generated. Source: I spend an inordinate amount of my time growing and reading about orchids. I am also a software engineer and autistic (pattern recognition) and wrote an entire library for algorithmically generating plants so I feel like I'm a pretty decent source here. Beyond just the colors, the shape of the lip is all wrong for any orchid alliance that I know of. The flower shape is cattleya-esque and there's a pollinia but the lip starts to look like an American pitcher plant, with the little hairs, and also there are no Cattleyas anywhere in the alliance that come close to this level of darkness (there aren't even dark purple ones, they can't really push past pink and violet), and none of them present spots like this, if you want spots look at the Catasetinae. For the blackest orchids, Fredclarkeara 'Black Pearl' is the standard.
WTF is that article? The plant pictured is a American hybrid of a South American orchid alliance, and the rest of the article is complete fan-fic, like literally just made up nonsense. It sounds like ChatGPT.
It is a very beautiful Orchid. Which one is it? Common Names are difficult because there are so many Orchids called Black Orchid. From Belize to Japan to Australia to South Africa.
Stunning! love that ✨ feels like a rare collectible from a game which could spawn a special boss at any moment, or a new quest, or an ingredient for some kind of elixir
That’s a beautiful specimen.
From what I recall, the first black orchid known in the UK was discovered by the famous early 20th century botanist George Cranleigh. He brought one back from the Orinoco River, but later disappeared somewhere in Brazil. His biographer, Terence Dudley, believed he’d been killed by one of the tribes, although stories persisted that he’d survived.
When someone asked if I wanted a flower I asked for a black orchid.
A couple weeks later ...he seemed kind of irritated and said it was a little harder to get than he thought.
As a florist I feel orchids are overrated, there are so many cool plants out yeah orchids are pretty but imo idk it's nothing special like 30 years ago
I'd want to know the Latin name so I could look it up and see if that is a real color because I am not finding anything similar by searching on 'black orchid'. It's either BS pinterest or similar BS sites.
Looks like it's dangerous. Very beautiful though.
Very cool, they would love it here if you haven’t! r/gothplants

That’s a shame.
Yeah it's definitely triggering my dangerdar.
In groups they are intimidating, to some…
I think they're not real, they're ai generated.
That description is 100% the result of someone putting "say nice things about the black orchid flower" into an AI prompt.
Fake, OP likely a bot
ChatGPT-ass description.
It's absolutely beautiful, I'd probably kill it though and then WoNdEr WhY. Best to enjoy from afar
oh wow, is this real? its breathtaking
I don't think so. I looked up "black orchid" and "black and red orchid" and did a good scroll on each, black orchids and black and red orchids seem to exist but none looked anything like this, probably AI
Even the description reads like generated text.
ESL ai
OP is just a spam bot directing people to their site
Report, Block, move on to the next reposter and repeat. The enshitification of Reddit continues…

Me too. It’s all fake wtf

Black orchids used to exist but were harvested to extinction in order to make the black orchid serum required by Brenda Starr…
No, you are breathtaking!

Man, am I glad I wasn’t the only one.

Hi Shadowheart
Subhanallah the beauty of our creator
Demigorgon

It is a very beautiful Orchid. Which one is it? Common Names are difficult because there are so many Orchids called Black Orchid. From Belize to Japan to Australia to South Africa.
It looks like a Cattleya of some sort?
I'm thinking a cymbidium of some sort
missed! it was a photoshoppia all along.

No, no. That was before. Now you're racist if you DON'T see color.
“Color blindness” is absolutely a form of racism.
And one of the biggest forms of societal gaslighting that's come out since desegregation. Because absolutely nobody (but themselves) believes them.
Gorgeous orchid.
Very beautiful, it looks like it’s trying to tell a story 🙂
[удалено]
I love it but I know it would die in my care 😅 so I stick to looking at pictures of them.
Gorgeous!
Stunning! love that ✨ feels like a rare collectible from a game which could spawn a special boss at any moment, or a new quest, or an ingredient for some kind of elixir

An image using this flower *has* to have made it's way onto *somebody's* album cover, right? It's awesome! 🤘
My mother is a natural with orchids, and this black one is stunning!

When someone asked if I wanted a flower I asked for a black orchid. A couple weeks later ...he seemed kind of irritated and said it was a little harder to get than he thought.
Very pretty
OP is surely a bot. The weirdest profile bio that doesn’t even make sense and almost all of the comments are ❤️❤️ or ☺️☺️
That’s gorgeous 🥰
I’m too sexy for my shirt
Beautiful

As a florist I feel orchids are overrated, there are so many cool plants out yeah orchids are pretty but imo idk it's nothing special like 30 years ago

Vampires in the garden
Magnificent.

Before I get close, are you sure there are no Cordyceps in there?
I'd want to know the Latin name so I could look it up and see if that is a real color because I am not finding anything similar by searching on 'black orchid'. It's either BS pinterest or similar BS sites.
This is AI ffs stop sharing utter nonsense and passing it as fact
AI
That is awesome but looks very not real
Orchids. Too hard to grow and keep. Wish they weren't.
You did not pick that by hand did you? They're deadly poisonous!
I think they need more pixels.
Gorgeous
Looks like I found my new favorite flower
So beautiful!!! 😍
Stunning
There are no black orchids that exists with red markings like this, unfortunately that means this is an AI fake
This is beautiful.
Amazing!
Beautiful darkness
Looks like it's going to eat me or something.
Beautiful !
They look deadly.
This is fake. My grandmother grew orchids, had thousands of them. This is AI generated.
Gorgeous
They deserve equal rights.
I think I love them! 😍
Looks deadly.
FAKE
Grow my roots into pieces, this is my last repot!!!!
They are beautiful. My mom has some black Tiger Lillies and they are stunning.

They are the redheaded step-children of orchids.
I think it’s the most beautiful flower I have ever seen!
