Very cool and interesting. Turns out there's a "y" in the name - melanoporphyreum
Well... I had never heard of it before your post, so I HAD to look it up!

Very interesting floral color. I wonder who pollinates this species?
That lip is incredible! Thank you so much for sharing your images!

Very interesting to see this one .... colouration is lovely but the shape of the lip is strange. But in nature everything makes sense.
This species is really special. I’ve seen big plants with 50 flowers. What a show!
Nice. thanks for sharing.
Thank you Frank. That is something to look forward to.
Nice!
This species is very common in Colombian collections. I’ve seen 20 gallon pots with hundreds of flowers (30 plus flowers on each inflorescence). They also range in darkness to almost black.
