Yes, that indeed sounds like TWILIGHT DANCER. TEMPLE DANCER is much shorter, a
deep violet with falls somewhat darker than the standards. BIG BLACK BUMBLEBEE
is another Danielson 3/4-bred from that era that, like TWILIGHT DANCER, came
from an RC. It was one of those that persisted in the Oklahoma garden whose
raised beds I described in an earlier post.
