Indeed super dark. Lovely!

Good dark color.

Have the flowers fully expanded? Takes up to a week to fully stretch. I have about 3 about to open at Dave’s.

Much better when fully stretched.

Here’s my 20-cm tenebrosa Rainforest’ FCC/AOS to compare for form. Your color is much darker.

Brave to say to you but mine is better.

That is dark!

And very gorgeous! (and I'm not normally a tenebrosa man... but with your flower, Istvan, I'm all in!)

Brave to say to you but mine is better.

Why brave? You are just stating the indisputable truth! Whence did you get hold of this clone?!

That’s very brave of you…. And I agree lol.

Yours is likely third (F3) generation from this famous Rainforest parent.
