Are there any flowers that have brown blooms. I want to try and find one for my DS. He has always wanted something with the brown but I can't find anything.
CLOSED: Anyone know any flowers with Brown
Some hibiscus do and they're very easy to grow in containers.
The only one I can think of off the top of my head is "Chocolate Cosmos". I've never seen or heard of a Hibiscus with Brown Flowers ... would love to see one! Here's the link to Plant Files with info on the Cosmos:

They are an acquired taste, but what about Western Coneflower 'Black Beauty' (Rudibeckia occidentalis)? They're really dark brown, in my view, not black. Quite interesting, eye-catching and easy to grow.
Beech drops but I think they only grow under beech trees.
Yes and wild ginger but you can't really see them because they are under the leaves.
The native Brown's peony has brown flowers edged with orange or yellow, and large green seed pods. It likes to grow near pine trees. I collected some seed last weekend.
Makshi, I have some Rudbeckia 'Chocolate Orange' is that brown enough or did you want entirely brown? I can save you seeds if you want. Here's a pic (probably will be small because I cropped it out of a larger garden shot.)

Suzy,
I would love it if you saved me a few seeds. Did any of the cosmos live and bloom?
Yes they're alive -- most of them outgrew the attention of the bunnies! They haven't bloomed yet, but they have buds.
Here's a portrait of Chocolate Orange.

Pretty flower.
Lots of people complain that Caribbean Crush Verbena is a disappointing brown.

Salpiglossis (Painted Tongue) 'Chocolate Royale' has very dark brown blooms. It's an annual. http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/53703/ Also, some Frittilaria have brown blooms. Our native variety is Fritillaria camschatcensis. We call it 'Chocolate Lily'. http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/1692/
