Belize 'Black Orchid'
Incredible pic rcn48. Hope you had an excellent trip.
WOW! What an exquisite Orchid! Bet your trip to Belize was the experience of a lifetime!
Very striking...a friend of mine grows that one...it is actually one of the easier orchids to grow indoors.
pretty, should put it on my list...
Our trip was fantastic and we can't wait to go back! This is the national flower of Belize and a friend ordered one for me as a thank you for planning the whole trip. She got it from Andy's Orchids - exceptionally healthy plant at a reasonable price http://www.andysorchids.com/
OOOOOOoooooOOOOOO
I want one of those, too.
Thanks for sharing the pic and the link.
