As a hobby I do floristry and flower arranging. To find *any* form of plant material (leaves, stem or flower) that is black, and isnt dead, is a mission and a half. I find violas frustrating in this regard. They commonly grow in all the hard to get colours your crave in floristry, blues, purples and blacks. They are also very delicate and small, so are usually unsuitable for any form of arrangement other then small wedding bouquets. This little specimen is the only black one that slipped through the annual planting. It must have been a stray seed while the nursery was growing them. Regardless, it is my favorite.
