Opal and Maryzell were right, as usual... this one is so very black. This is h. Caribbean Frank League. And it bloomed today and I was dabbing it's pollen on a great number of flowers and as you can see I pollinated it as well. This one and h. Dakar are going to be the parents of many new babies in the garden this fall. One more thing...I don't photoshop my pictures...this is the real McCoy.
