I have some reds, but more of a burgundy or wine red, not a true red.

I do love them but the black catches my eye.I love those .I would love to have a bed of all black Lillies and Tulips and any other black bulbs and put white or yellow ones all around the outsides.

Lovely colors! The black hyacinth is very interesting - would make a nice contrast.
I just finished planting a new daylily, 'Darla Anita' that I fell for in a catalog, hope she grows... most of mine are shades of burgundy, red and yellow, but this one would be a ruffled pink.
So many plants, so little dirt...

I think I would also like a bed of black flowers

Here's a list of some real nice reds we've had at our garden center. Maybe you can find some of these out your way?
Baja, Chicago Apache, Jay, Little Valentine, Pardon Me, Red Ripples, Red Volunteer, Regency Dandy, Apache War Dance, Heat Lightning, Pygmy Prince, Red Razzle Dazzle, Red Razmatazz, Red Ribbon, Rooten Tooten Red
There are quite a few huh? I Love daylillies myself...so I always have a good supply! Reds, yellows, and oranges sell best, but we have a few white, green, and purples too!
