Black Death to me suggests the plague and what was done in medieval times was for folks to flee that area if they couldn't kill all the rats, or were trying to protect themselves from the respiratory transmission, was to carrry a small nosegay of flowers under their nose.
So I do hope you have some flowers in the garden, 
And now a link for those who once sang that ditty of Ring around the Rosy as I did when I was a kid and had no idea what it really meant.

What I mean by the black death is one of the plants started to just wilt from the bottom to the top.
No yellowing of the leaves or anything just wilt and die.
It must be the non respiratory strain from the time ofJustinian541 AD as none of the other plants are doing it.
I didn't know what that song meant either until I went to London.
