Personally, I am so fascinated seeing black florals. One thing for sure, it is a unique shade that I cannot sway my eyes with this Calla lily plant with its black blooms. It is also my first time to see such a variety. I got this photo when buying florals for my dear lovely mom who passed away 10 days back. Have you seen this kind of calla lily?

No, I've never seen them that color before. I have some of the white calla lilies here, though.

Those are common in the market. Hopefully, I can buy them and plant them in my garden in the future.

Only in magazines. I have a black tulip in my garden and it is a favorite.

@LadyDuck That color is also common here. I must say that this is my first time to see maroon or dark type.

I have not seen that colour. Have seen white and pink shades. This one is unique though not black. It's darker shade of maroon as it looks in the picture.

There is some charm to this variety of calla lily. I prefer the white ones though. I often mistake it for anthurium.

I love different shades of anthurium. In fact, there is an anthurium that is the same age as me. It was planted by my lovely mom when I am still a baby.

@yoalldudes I think it is. That is how mothers love their children.

No, I've never seen them before. They are very pretty. They might be called black, but they are really a lovely shade of purple aren't they? I really love the colour.

Some locals claimed that the color is dark maroon.

Hey mylot buddy it's been a while. I hope you're doing great. No I've never seen this before but I remember your discussions about plants whenever I see an unusual plant around.

I am glad that you are fascinated with posted discussions about plants or florals. I am still grieving for the passing of my dear mom.
