This flower really has a very deep and nice maroon color and looks really black against its ‘relatives’. The lily seems to be velvet, and it will surely decorate any garden.

Fritillária camschatcénsis

This flower, fairly simple in form, is very beautiful and unusual. Even being almost black it lives up to its name (hazel hen in Russian) — in good light one can see small spots on its petals. Even though it’s quite rare the plant is rather unpretentious. It can be found in many flower shops, but one should search for darker shades.

Violets

Violets are always perfect, no matter what color they are. This flower combines tenderness and beauty, and the combination is fascinating. This is a house plant requiring special attention and care. The black violets are rare but existing. They look like outlandish velvet eyes with yellow pupils.

Black flowers can be bought in many flower shops, but some of them are more common and the others are really rare.
