Hollyhock 'Black Knight'
Comments on this photo
Aeonium arboreum 'Zwartkop' known as Black rose?
Or maybe Stapelia grandiflora( not exactly black) ?
There are quite a few black flowers around. I have seen black primulas, pansies, dahlias, petunias, Aquilegia, Calla Lily 'Night Cap' and probably more I do not remember.

Stapelia..that's it. There's a black Calla Lily? That sounds interesting.

They had black calla lily in every garden center this year.
I do not like black flowers. Not "girly" enough :-) I planted this hollyhock for my DH. He likes all the unusual "things".

Ha!,and what did I buy at a nursery yesterday? A Stapelia. Turns out it doesn't have a black flower..but that was on my mind.
I saw something with a black flower..told myself to report it to GOY. I cant remember what it was Klahanie..arghhhh.

The "other" Stapelia has interesting flowers as well Stan. I am always fascinated by it.

What does it mean that the only other black flower I can think of is to one of the Hoodea succulents?. Its naturally enough one of the Carrion flowers.
