Marvin glad I could help I don't have any info on it other than a seedling # it was 24Q-B I know it was one of Barry's and I found it growing at Kieth's in 2012 that is where the picture came from, I don't know if he still has it but maybe a email to one of them may help with parentage info. I am sure they will remember that one nothing else like it at least not that black anyway if not feel free to copy the picture and send it that ought to help refresh there memory if the seedling # does not
.I wish you luck with the project and hope to open my Rockytop catalog in the future and find a solid black Plicata
I agree very nice people here on ATP and I enjoy using the database to look up info on plants it is by far the easiest to use and seems to be getting better all the time. The feature where you can click on all the children a plant has produced is Awesome it helps when your trying to do research for a project like this.
