I collect black flowers myself. Yes there are Black Louisiannas but no
blakcs in the others as far as I know.
Good to see someone else collecting black. I have hollyhock, tulips,
parrot tulips, pansies, arum lilies, irises (tall and dwarf.... nothing
black have I been able to find in Medians), and I think there are a couple
of other things but I can't remember right now.
