Re: Re: TB: Black Falls

Margie and Donald  --  I, too, have BLACK FALLS, and I share Donald's
opinion of it.  The falls are, indeed, very black, but the form is
disappointing.  I crossed it this year with a seedling that has better
flower form and branching and has glossy black falls in its background, so
we'll see what happens a little more than a year from now.  --  Griff
