A while ago I planted these gladioli bulbs in a tonne of colours to brighten up the front of our little house.
Little did I know that some of the buds would look JET black.
It was so pretty I had to get some pictures.
As you may guess, the flowers were actually dark purple when they opened a couple of days ago.
There are also hot pink and yellow flowers, and some coral-peach ones that haven't opened yet.
These are the first flowers I've actually bought as bulbs and planted and grown myself - can't wait for them all to bloom. I just hope I don't kill them!
Wow that black sure is pretty!
ReplyDeleteVery cool. In Texas our state flower is the bluebonnet, which is kind of cool because rarely do you see truly blue flowers. Black flowers are a whole 'nother story though! ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty color! LOVE these.
