This is the first bloom of this clon in my collection... flowers are very dark purple, and look black in real life... However, flowers growns under warmer conditions (warm nights) seems to be lighter in color looking more reddish than black... According to a message sent by Fred Clarke to a friend of mine in Venezuela, there was a mutation rate in the mericloning process of approx. 2%. I have seen the photo of one of this mutations, which produces picotee flowers and is just fantastic!

wow wow wow! :drool: I wonder how many this cross will turn out as dark as 'SVO Black Pearl'? It's really tempting, although quite expensive, to shell out $100 for this plant next year...
