If you're looking for fresh cut Black Calla Lilly - looks like this Pacific grower has them!

If she's a gardener, then Park Seeds sell bulbs that grow a variety of Jet-Black Calla Lilys called "Calla Naomi Campbell". They look gorgeous. There's also another variety called "Midnight Eclipse". Both are naturally occurring varieties.
Nice Choice!

Black Calla lily's are not naturally occurring. You need to buy a regular Calla Lily and treat it yourself.
DesignMaster sells a spray paint made specifically for fresh flowers. You can get it at their website at http://www.dmcolor.com/ or sometimes from a craft supply store, like Michael's.
Color your flower in light coats rather than spraying one heavy coat. It will look natural. Have fun!

As the responded suggested, see about staining or painting one because there is NO, NONE, NADA, ZIP natural occurring BLACK flower of ANY plant in this world.
So called natural black flowers are NOT black, impossible. These flowers are combinations of purple, blue, red, and other combinations of hues, tones, and otherwise colors that, due to their intensities and combinations ----- appear to be black, but they are not black. When viewed closely these "black" flowers reveal themselves to the make up of their real colors.
Therefore the only black flowers are MADE UP by staining, painting, using dye etc.

Your girlfriend sure has some expensive taste. Try http://www.flowers.pacificcallas.com/blackcallalilyflowers.htm they have them, but they're quite costly. Shop around some, or even just buy the bulbs (http://www.flowersbulbs.com/ibulb_black_calla_lily_hot_chocolate.php), so you can watch as your love for her "grows".
If you definatly want the flowers, call some florists in the area. Try national numbers like 1-800-FLOWERS, or call a wedding coordinater who can push you in the right direction with a good reference for a florist. Good luck!
