Tuesday, we posted a look at common plants in uncommonly dark hues.
Today, it's lesser known specimens with truly black beauty, like the Black Bat above.

The cute "Starling" Auricula


The Black Bat is scarily beautiful...

I don't like black flowers. I guess to me flowers are cheerful and bright and although 95% of my clothes are black I prefer my flowers to be the spots of colour in my place. Somehow the photos above remind me of spooky movies.

I started a small project of blackish flowers several years back inspired by this website :http://web.archive.org/web/20001109030300/www.gothic.net/~malice/
I wasn't able to cultivate anything terribly exotic as the weather that summer was strange.
The black pansies did great though.
Here is a site that sells seeds for a variety of black flowers.

Love that Black Bat!
Intoxicating.

Some of these are downright scary, but I do love black flowers in general. Black irises rock.
