Gordon Plough had a good representation of his things in bloom, and many were looking very nicely. Needless to say, the one that took everyone by storm was his tall, big sooty black INTERPOL (1973). Although we fear that it may be a little low on buds (as most blacks are), it does produce tall show stalks that will plead with you to enter them in the shows.
