Black Calla Lilly
So-called black flowers almost never are truly black. They tend towards deep purple. This was billed as a black calla, but it's really a purpley-claret.
The black calla that I carried when I married Son were much darker -- closer to black -- but with a deep purple undertone. These are still beautiful and will forever be one of my favorite flowers.

ReplyDeleteGlad you found a sunny enough place for callas. I have a clump of traditional white ones, which is spreading, year by year. Lovely flowers

Check out the coal-black pansy. It truly is black. Alchemy-works sells the seeds.
ReplyDeleteThe lilly really is a beute! I definitely gotta get some of those pansies, though ...
