I'm constantly amazed at the variety of plants the game generates. I've *almost* managed a full rainbow bloom one of my plants, and a variety of split black/color blooms as well.

These are really beautiful. Back when I was working on Mendel and taking it around to show at different festivals, one of my favorites parts was seeing all the flowers that people would make that even, I as the developer, had never been able to produce. Seeing people do that again is really special.
I've got some rainbow-y flowers. Have no clue how to get black though, those look stunning. The coolest thing about these kinda rainbow-y flowers (first image) is that I got them completely accidentally just breeding this pretty red plant. The long flowers with just one leaf (second image) were bred much more intentionally; after getting that rainbow stalk I wanted to complete it with a blue leaf
Those are sweet looking. IIRC, to get the black, I kept crossbreeding flowers of opposite colors, like in that screencap, I'd take a bunch of the ones in front, and breed with the blue green near the back. Let's say they're plants A and B. I'd breed at least two sets of A+B, and 2 sets of B+A. I'd pay attention to the offspring that were darker, and breed those, then add maybe a drab orange or a dark red. I just kept crossing on that route, alternated between reds, greens and blues till a black popped up. A lot of work but it was worth it.
