There are no truly black lilies, but some that are a very dark red. Several names begin with 'black' http://www.lilynook.mb.ca/library/library-Asiatics-B.htm There is also Sun God http://www.lilynook.mb.ca/images/Asiatics/Sun%20God.jpg and this is Summer Night.

Hope you can find something that suits you and your garden.

Here is one that is really dark. One of my friends grows it and loves it, it's called Landini http://www.veseys.com/ca/en/images/products/thumb/3661.jpg

"Ebony" looks darker to me than "Landini". I ordered it from Faraway Flowers too. I'm hoping it looks like that black tulip "Queen of the Night". It looks just smashing with pinks! So "Ebony" will have some nice "pink neighbors".

Oh...duh! How could I have forgotten Landini and Ebony? Just ordered them myself. :)
