@Sheannutt the pattern in the center is just remarkable. It's my most unusual flower.
I have a black cherry in my front yard. It attracts Tiger Swallowtail, Red Spotted Purples and all kinds of birds.
Black Callas are a favorite.
The so called Bat Orchid is not an orchid, but a member of the Amyrillidaceae family. Treat similar to Spathiphyllum.
None of these varieties, but many. They're all easy to grow around here. I would believe it'd be possible in Oregon as well. Are you into dark? Goth perhaps?
I've grown black coleus and also black tulips. They are quite nice but I like them with a lot of contrast - preferably lime green. I saw a picture of a whole bed of assorted black flowers and foliage and it looked sad to me. A matter of taste, though. I've grown black beans and they were interesting to look at. they tasted just the same as green ones.
No but I would love to try and get some. Bet that would be awesome to see once they all bloomed.
I had one of those petunias one year. Very striking but never found it again in any greenhouse I shopped in. Some of those unique hybrids are manipulated to be sterile, think that was one as none of the seeds from it germinated. I also plant a purple/dark sweet potato some years but not sure it is that one. It does look striking "running"out of a hanging planter.
No, but I listen to The Dead Tongues singing Black Flower Blooming.
When I had my home north of Nashville, TN...I had the black tulips, hollyhocks, and iris growing there (also black/dark puple roses)....they were beautiful and I also had all pink flowers to contrast with them in my flower beds. It was lovely.

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.
