Way to many tonight to pick favorites. Loving all the near blacks! A few from my garden....
Registered as evergreen, I've had it since intro in '07 without any hardiness issues.
My favorite double.
Great plant, has been excellent parent for me.
Love the wide petals, saturated color and soft pleating in this sculpted form.
I have Magical Indeed too, and it has opening issues for me as well. Can't remember how often it was poly and made no notes. Are you working with tet poly's? I'm just wondering if there are many available, most of the ones I see are diploids. (I should go back and read the poly threads....)
