Lorn,
In reading the B&D description of Black Dragon I see the following:
This is a strain of similar-looking plants grown from seed, so expect some variance in flower shape, size, and the intensity of outer markings. This is the true 'Black Dragon' strain developed by Jan de Graaff, bred from his "M-12" breeding stock, not the "pseudo-strain" being offered by others.
This tells me #1 there are bogus plants being sold out there and #2 there are flower variations of the real strain. I am missing my TV movie so I will save this for another day. It gets complicated. Rolling my eyes.
Even a fool, when he shuts his mouth, is counted (as being) wise.Proverbs 17:28
