Violets and Saintpaulias
Saintpaulia, popular among gardeners, actually has nothing to do with the flowers of the Violet family.
They were discovered by accident in the 90s of the 19th century by the military commandant of the Uzambara district of the German colony in East Africa. It was Baron Walter von Saintpaul. In his honor, the plant received its specific name - Saintpaulia. The seeds sent to Germany sprouted, and the plant was soon described by naturalist Hermann Wendland as Saintpaulia violet-flowered (or violet-flowered). There is indeed a resemblance between Saintpaulias and violets, but only externally. An African plant with flowers similar to violets began to spread in Europe. Without going into details of the classification, amateur flower growers very quickly began to call it “violet”.

Black violets
Calm, curious all the tones,
Wonderful is the night that is not completely black.
These black flowers are beautiful.
Breeders from all countries have been struggling for decades to create black flowers - roses, orchids, tulips. and of course the breeders did not ignore Saintpaulia. Black violet is for many breeders the pinnacle of their work. But unfortunately, pure black Saintpaulia cannot exist in nature. In living nature there is no pure black color, there is no enzyme responsible for this color. Black is the perception by the eye of dark shades, most often very rich brown, less often red or blue, dark purple, dark burgundy...
A large concentration of dark color in flowers leads to their rapid fading in the sun, that is, such flowers burn very quickly in the sun and literally burn out. This is not beneficial in nature, because the flower must have time to fulfill its function - pollination, but it will not have time to do anything. That's why there are no such flowers in nature. Another reason is that this color is not attractive to pollinating insects; they are simply not interested in such a flower. You can only make one or another shade saturated, bring it to a high concentration in the flower. But it will not be black, but very dark. red, blue, brown. And such a flower will not be very durable.
There is another way - to artificially color the plant. Yes, the color will be black, but this is a color and without a systematic infusion of dye it will dry out sooner or later.
All the research of breeders ends with only one thing - they bring the color intensity to the permissible maximum and our eye sees the color black, although in fact it is not so. Despite all of the above, “black” violets continue to fascinate, captivate and surprise.

Who chooses black flowers
Sometimes the choice of black is based on a feeling of consolation, a sense of mystery, acceptance of infinity, and is also associated with inexhaustible feminine power. From time immemorial, black flowers have been inaccessible and the most mysterious. Black can mean an expression of protest, aggression and even negativism. However, it is precisely the characteristics of the black color that indicate that a person who prefers this color can calmly endure hardships and also knows how to limit his claims. A lover of black needs to feel protected, closed from the outside world. Most often, such individuals give the impression of self-confident people, but this is not the case at all. The disadvantages of lovers of this color include the fact that they are often depressed; depression in such individuals is protracted. In addition, the color black symbolizes destructiveness and emptiness at the same time. The positive characteristics of such people include the fact that they know how to use force to achieve their goal. Of course, this also applies to disadvantages, but for the owner himself this quality can be positive, because in our time it is very important to know what you really want. And, besides, the color black indicates that a lover of this color knows how to show perseverance and perseverance in solving any problem. There is another important positive quality of fans of everything black - creation. Black color has two faces, so if you like black color, try to use its positive influence on you.

Reviews
In a word - nonsense, highly artistic nonsense. Although this is not true, for such an arthouse movie, its plot, surprisingly, even came out very thoughtful and there was no understatement in it. It all just looked like wandering in the dark, from one suddenly surging idea to another. In the end, what emerged from this was no story. In aesthetic terms, I think the film was shot very well, gray picture, sophisticated characters, vampire theme. I don’t give it a minus, it’s just a movie for connoisseurs, not for everyone!
They forgot to invite India - and dance, dance, dance. and the songs, of course
Fuck it. One poster is worth it. In one hand there is an artificial penis and in the other there is a plunger.
forced to work as an escort to support the family business, WTF. What kind of family business is this?))))))
The film is unexpectedly good. Added to the collection)
Country: USA, Hungary, Singapore, UAE. Even though I’m tense, I won’t watch.
well, yes, well, yes, it confused me too
Not watchable amateur art house. ABOUT NOTHING. A little lesbian, a little vampire.
do not scare . especially Lesbians (((excites and is not calm from this, damn it (((
A typical low-budget arthouse that won't even be shown at festivals. First of all, it is fantasy, then drama, thriller, detective, and horror trails behind everything. Newcomer István Váradi shot the film in black and white, with a slight blue tint, only at a basic level of knowledge. The actors did not play convincingly, but it is clear that they tried. The sounds were simply psychedelic. The plot is simply about nothing, the writers squeezed everything they could out of their brains: the black vampire Kennedy wants to live as a human, meets the Korean Zelda, and they begin a lesbian relationship. But the development of their love was prevented by the lord of the vampires, Pepin, who is 3000 years old, who returned from a long hibernation, reproaching Kennedy that people are no match for them. You won't see anything bloody, just a few bites, but there will be a lot of dialogue and dry scenes. In general, nonsense, not horror, 0.5 out of 10.

Looking at the photographs, someone may ask: why are black flowers needed? Are there not many others - bright, jubilant, colorful, awakening the desire to live and create? To this one can object that black flowers are beautiful and literally enchant with their unusualness and mystery. It is not for nothing that breeders have been struggling for centuries to give the petals an impeccably resinous tone. Black mallow:

That's right, Lena! In our family very often, in those distant years, we talked about the black tulip. Then a film about a black tulip appeared on the screens, but at that time selection had not yet been able to actually grow it. And now, looking at the miracles of selection, you get a fountain of joy. It’s like talking about blue roses – whether they really exist or not.
Exactly, I was just looking through
Exactly, just after looking at this article I remembered the story about the blue rose
Good day! How
Good day! As always, wonderful photos, still a rare black color. It would seem, well, how to convey a riot of colors through black. It turns out that it is possible, because it is the black color that gives flowers luxury, magic and admiration for the possibilities of nature! I saw black hollyhocks. and remembered another story. An old, very responsible Maria Romanovna worked as a janitor at our production site! And one day she sowed hollyhocks on our lawn - pink, lemon, red. Time passed, designs changed, tastes changed. Each time, various other flowers, exotic herbs and shrubs grew on the lawn. But every year, here and there, and even through the asphalt, Maria Romanovna’s mallows sprouted! And they bloomed almost all summer in memory of her!
