Black color is more and more popular in interior design. Many people bravely paint the walls black or use black wallpaper and buy bigger furniture. If we don’t like to accent this color so much, we can use it on accessories (cushions, vases, candles, picture frames etc.) or on easy changeable smaller pieces of furniture or carpets. Cut or potted flowers always bring nature to the interiors. Where black is the dominant color and the color palette is monochrome, it’s harder to choose plants because bright colors are very different from the concept.
In this case, „black” flowers are perfect, which are less familiar and harder to purchase. Although black is in their name, actually none of them is black, but a very deep hue of claret and purple which seems to be black compared to other plants.
