Anvil of Darkness has been a disappointment here.  Sit and grew and grew,
rotted and rotted.  For years.  This year it bloomed, but rotted off at the
ground.  Stalks were only something like 14 inches tall.  Not really worth the
time and care I spent on it.  Hello Darkness is my favorite, but must admit
there are many I haven't grown.  Many I have grown, but they don't impress me
like HD and the old time Blackout.

I've not grown them but Before the Storm, Anvil of Darkness and Black
Suited are three Innerst blacks I see mentioned a lot. One of those Linda?
