There are many.  Some are just deep purple/violet and are not sooty 
like MO.  I am wondering which ancestor in the Schreiner 'black' line 
contributed to the overbloom that is in HELLO DARKNESS and THUNDER 
SPIRIT.  I don't think it was NAVY STRUT orr SUPERSTITION; it could 
have been one of the numbered seedlings.  I wonder why DUSKY 
CHALLENGER doesn't appear often in black pedigrees.  Is it because it 
is unknown?  I have never bloomed a DC seedling and do not know what 
it throws.  I know that plants are on the market with the parentage  
of Silverado x Dusky Challenger or the reverse, but I have not seen 
any of them in bloom.
