I agree with like the brighter colors but when something comes across as unique as the black petunia I had to try it. When the sun strikes it just tight you can see the tint of dark, purple.
In the least we raised a fair amount of money that got to Ana's project. prior to that I made an additional personal donations. Having it go to @aid.venezuela makes me feel good. I trust what they are doing and it will stay in Venezuela and help others in need.
Back to flowers...thank you for the name used for Dianthus. I have them in containers and some growing in my flower garden. One plant is around 5 years old. I have other variations that seed and spread around the flower bed. Some of their scent is wonderful. I am allergic to some scents but thankfully Dianthus is not in the group. And even if it did bother me I would still enjoy the scent and the heck wiuth the consequences.
