This flower was photographed in a botanical garden at Vitória, Brazil
A Maxillaria species. Looks like M. schunkeana, the "black" orchid. Did you see it in the wild? I think it's very range limited and scarce even in the forests where it is native to. Either way, congrats on seeing it as this is a beautiful plant!
