| From Blue J Iris online catalog, 2017: TOTAL DARKNESS - Leonard & Kathryn Jedlicka, 2012, TB, 36”, L. This black velvet beauty has good form as well as great color. The standards are actually a purple-black, but the soft velvet cuts the gloss and makes them look even blacker. The semi-flaring falls have not a shred of off-color, as black as any flower can be, and the heavy plush velvet shows off their thick substance and the ruffling. Beards and style arms are deep purple-black, and the scent is sweetly grape-ish. The healthy plants have 7 buds, good branching, and sturdy stalks. (Formerly seedling Jeda 5-33U29) Hello Darkness X Before The Storm. |
