Kat Von D’s garden has black flowers only — and it’s gorgeous

Kat Von D. is known for many things: her tattoos, her tireless work defending animals, and her bold make-up line to name a few. You can add “killer green thumb” to her list of talents, because if you’ve been paying attention to her Instagram feed lately, you’ve probably caught a glimpse of the most magical backyard garden, ever.

Von D actually calls it a “black thumb” — and when you see her garden you’ll get why. Her entire garden is filled with black flowers and foliage — and it’s strikingly beautiful.

A black Dhalia, which Von D notes represents “a good wish for a couple and commitment.”
