I used to have a bunch of fake Paphiopedilum orchids in dark purple, those would probably work well for you. They looked a lot like this: http://homepages.tcp.co.uk/~nroberts/Paphiopedilum_lawrenceanum-ciliolare.JPG Unfortunately, for the life of me, I cannot remember where I got them. One less-than-ideal option could be to purchase silk plants and flowers that are approximately the right shape, and then paint/discolor them to look more macabre (the low-light lets you get away with a lot in that regard). I'll keep thinking, maybe more will come to me.
