Quite a striking flower. Even though it is more deep purple than true black, it certainly makes a statement. Not sure why I am on such a black plant kick in these first two entries in the Interesting Plants series, but these are simply what caught my eye.

I am looking for new, interesting plants to add to my garden after 16 years of basically living with what I inherited from the previous owners. Something like this would certainly fit the bit. I wonder if I could do a bed of calla lilies of varying typing, including my most interesting finds. Hmmm…thinking, thinking, thinking.
