A freelance creative director named Miss. Cakehead has teamed up with a special florist that sells only black roses. The 'Kraken Rum' is the flower shop that has these intriguing specialty roses for sale. They are made by simply placing dark red roses in vases filled with ink instead of water. The black ink is then penetrated throughout the petals to create the dark effect.
Each bouquet of roses also comes with a message that either reads "Take me whole" or "Swallow me piece by piece." These messages are meant to be perceived with deep thought and enlightenment. This ink florist will only sell these bouquet of black roses until 14 February 2014 and is located at Kingley Court, London.
