Dearest Black Jack,
You are the epitome of dark elegance, standing tall at 140cm, your commanding presence impossible to ignore. Your dark stems and rich green foliage form a striking backdrop for your blooms, large, semi-cactus wonders up to 20 cm across, their deep, velvety red petals so dark they appear almost black.
Your long, pointed petals, rolled under at the edges, create a dramatic, spiky silhouette, each bloom a testament to your bold and mysterious beauty. From mid-summer to the first frost, you reign as the garden’s shadowy jewel, captivating hearts with every glance. My fierce and regal Black Jack, you are my garden’s darkest delight.
