Names of some black and orange flowers?

Hi everyone, I know I can look this up for myself, but I rarely ask a question so I thought this is the perfect opportunity. I'm planning a garden bed of only black and orange flowers to represent my Alma Mater's colors. So, if you would be kind enough to name all the black and orange flowers or plants that you can think of it will give me a head start for next season. Thanks so much.

My favourite Orange flower is the Gebera. There is orange begonia,lillies,Bird of paradise and the butterfly weed.

But thats all I have at the moment I wish you luck with some more.
Reply:Rudbeccia, if I spelled it right. Tiger lilies. Some versions of marigold.
Reply:Pansies, of course, come to mind immediately... and since I don't know your planting zone, it's safe to recommend them as they can really stand the freezing cold.



"Black Flowers There are lots of spooky black flowers .... Now’s a good time to plant tulips like ‘Queen of Night’, ‘Black Diamond’ and ‘Black Parrot’, which are very deep purple. For sunny spots there’s the columbine Aquilegia ‘Black Barlow’ and hollyhocks Alcea rosea ‘Nigra’, ‘Black Beauty’ and ’Night Watchman’. For the front of the border you could grow Iris ‘Study in Black’, ‘Hello Darkness’ and ‘Paint it Black,’ Dianthus nigricans and D. ‘King of Black’ and the annual cornflowers ‘Black Ball’ and ‘Black Boy’. For shady corners there’s the mourning widow Geranium phaeum and the hellebore, Helleborus orientalis ‘Little Black’."



There's also black lily turf 'Nigrescens'.

Black eyed susan is orange AND black.
