Maxillaria hematoglossa

[goods]

A friend sent me a couple divisions of this not too long ago, and surprisingly, they are already blooming. This is grown outside, potted in sphagnum and relatively shady.

Interesting flower, seems big, too. Any scent?

Flower and plant are big for me. The individual growths are similar to an average sized Oncidium. I couldn't detect any scent. The lip truly is almost black, even in person.

Black tongue, for sure! Cute.

I like it a lot. Very unusual.
