Black Tulips

We found this wonderful shot of black tulips on a blog we read regularly. Black tulips! We love it. The author tells us that she planted them in her almost all white garden and that they're just so striking. We're smitten. Take a closer look after the jump.

I just had to show you these spectacular black tulips today. I'm crazy about them these days, and I wish I had planted more of them ;-) Last year I started adding some black flowers in an area of the garden, and I'm quite thrilled with it (Even though I'm opting for an all white garden ;-)) They really are quite striking for cut flowers!

I work in a flower shop and some of my favorite flowers that come in are black tulips and dahlias.
Beatuiful.

These are beautiful! I love black flowers and plants with white or pops of bright color.

no. they are natural, and quite stunning. tulips are so elegant.

Black flowers make any room look glamorous. They're so wonderful and graphic.

I wonder what other black flowers are easily obtained...

Ohhh... thank you for showing my black tulips!! I'm so honored to have my tulips in my all time favorite blog AT!*blushhh*

Really hard to find these wonderful black tulips!

No, they're not that hard to find. 'Queen of the Night' is the variety I think these are, one of my favorites, and they're included in almost any good garden catalog that has tulips.

I adore them, especially with white or green flowers.

grew some of these a couple of years ago on my patio. They were awesome.

Where can I find the gorgeous deer sculpture? I love it! I really want one...

This is so beautiful! The contrast of the colors and the styling are so lovely. Monica of M&Co always has such great taste -- always with a touch of whimsy. Thanks for sharing!
