Re: TB: Black Falls

Oops...............sent out one before I had a reply started.
 
Concerning BLACK FALLS. I agree the falls are blacker than shown here.  I think the camera may have picked up on some purple highlights in that photo. I too didn't care much for the form, but was amazed at how well this dark black color held up against the sun and in the heat.  It's holding it's own for me - not vigorous, but steady.

Margie,

This is a really good photo in terms of representing how this looked
when it grew here.  The falls are really black, even more than in
the photo.  It had great textural and color contrast between the
falls and the standards.  But it also shows the form accurately and
I didn't like that.  Those too small scrunched up standards over
falls that were almost parallel to the ground.  It looked best when
you looked straight down on it from the top and it was too tall for
that to work well.  Unfortunately, it didn't like my growing
conditions and ultimately dwindled into extinction here.
