    I love the color but it is very hard to photograph. It appears almost black. It has a pleasant scent that is hard to descibe. The back of the petals lighten as the flower ages but the front stays very dark

    I love the dark colour. I have seen a dark variety of Onc Sharry Baby but not as dark as this.
