Hmmm... I don't know that I have any really dark plants. But this is quite a beautiful one.

That would be my darkest too... the "black runner" variety.
 
I have one that looks almost like that but it has extremly dark dark shiney green/blackish colored leafs with pale white vains and a deep redish purple stem. Right now its dormant and just 2 bulbs. If i can find a pic of mine i will post it..

i had a darker plant in the garden but its dead now and i forget the name
 
Nice plant Tsonkiboy, my best guess for the blacked is ophiopogon planscarpos nigrescens. The leaves are truely black, it's hardy here in the UK and seeds around no problem (except that about 25% are green LOL). because of its colour it makes a good foil for other coloured foliage.

Best regards

Somehow to me this looks very much from the alocasia family.

Well, here's my darkest plant. I have no idea what kind it is; it started out as a stem cutting a few years ago. Maybe a 'creeping jew'? It has grown in a little pot for as long as I have had it, and branched out quite a bit. Last summer, it made little purple flowers for me while it was outside.

That's a Tradescantia pallida (I think). Looks like the variety 'Purple Heart' that garden centres here in the UK sell (or at least try to).

As for my darkest plant well... I have a Nepenthes aristolochioides pitcher that's very dark purple with black splotches. Does that count?

I have a boston fern that likes to dress goth and read Nietzsche. Is that dark? Or just crying for attention?
