Monochrome--Black Pansies





These flowers are black pansies in color, with yellow and purple in the middle, and this is the first time I see flowers in black color.

Update: Here is a picture of the black pansy in its original color!

This flower is actually black? It would be interesting to see the color version as well, it sounds very unusual. Nice work Icy.

The second photo is the best. I've never seen a black flower.

They're actually black? How unusual, and very striking too.

A black flower does at least lend itself to monochrome in a way most flower don't.
Thanks for participating.

Your black pansies look beautiful and mysterious. Great subject for monochrome!

As that you are into photography, I thought that you may be interested in a monthly blog posting called “5 on the fifth” where You can either take 5 random pictures of anything that happens to you on the 5th of November (or the days leading up to it) or perhaps go for my suggested theme.

Just post your pictures on your own blog and then post a comment on MY blog with your name, location and link to your site – I then update the entry so the world has your link. Remember to mention my blog on your own blog so that your visitors get to see the other contributions.

Interested?

Here’s a link to my blog:

wow, i have never seen a black flower yet, so lucky you to see one. i can imagine it must be very beautiful, against the contrast of yellow.

I have never seen a black flower before either.

There are black flowers (for those who asked the question). And yes, pansies do come in black even though it's very rare.

These particular ones are taken so they 'look' black. I think that's the point of 'monochrome.'

I like black pansies and tulips too. Mom used to plant tulips in every shade imaginable.

SquirrelQueen December 01, 2009 1:29 AM  

It is even more interesting in color, the little touch of yellow and purple really stand out against the black.

I've never seen a true black flower. Normally they are just a super dark color that's almost black. The black rose that I've seen for instance is more of a deep red.

Great find on this one Icy, very unusual.
