Walter adds:
DUSKY EVENING, Schreiner's. TB, S. grey to lavender-blue, subtly
blended fawn tan; F. rich dark blue-black with overcast blending of brown;
smoky blue-brown beard. 1971
MOCAMBO, Denney. TB, S. grey-green blend with violet in the falls,
lighter edges; grey oxblood hafts; violet beard tipped gold. 1978
VILLAIN, Keppel, TB, S. olive, faint lavender line up midrib; F.
maroon purple; mustard beard. 1981
I no longer grow MOCAMBO as I lost it in one of the garden
relocations I've made. Don Denney had another in the 'art shades' category
that was a BB, but I cannot seem to recall the name. I hope somebody can
remember this one.
