I answered one of my own questions tonight while flipping through the pages
of one of my iris books. There is a nearly black siberian called
"Nostalgie" that was developed in Germany. Now the question is, how do I
get it?
Ever since I mentioned it a few days ago, I haven't stopped thinking about
developing a pure black cristata. The problem is that most cristatas are
very pale pastel colors. Does anyone out there know of cristata that is
even remotely dark/black?
What are the names of some of the Lousianas you mentioned? I've only seen
dark purple LAs, never a black one.
