stunning karen, love it ;o))

Exquisite Karen....On to my favs...:>)

It's fantastic Karen !!!

I must have this one for our dark border, have never seen one so dark.

Dd, it is about a foot high only and it needs a damp but well drained soil. It doesn't like to be dry. Isn't it amazing? Thanks everyone. I have seen a flower this black...it is a kind of perennial viola...can't remember the name, but it is also very very black! I don't grow it...not usually into black flowers because you can't see them; but this is very beautiful, and I do so love this type of Iris.

its viola bowles black karen i like them to but havent seen one yet

That's it San, thanks! I saw them in the alpine section at Dobbies....don't know if you have one near you....

yes we do karen, not sure when i can get there, but i do love the black flowers we have now, maybe next year ;o))

very nice.

wow something about black flowers, absorbing all colour and reflecting none and just going for contrast in the eyes of insects wow. Something religious about them or maybe just goth : )

They would definitely be in the Adams family garden Stevie!! :))

Just out of interest, your surname isnt Adams is it?...foot mouth lol

lol! nothing goth abvout me Stevie!!
