They sold a variety with schwarzwalder picture, but it was sold under the bane Black Beuty, and a look alike Zanthadeschia grew out from it, but some were Black Eyed Beauty...If you would check the pictures on my site (4 real Schwarzwalder) you coul dee the differences: http://viraghagymasz.hu/fajok/zanthadeschia.htmPictures are not the best, but the variety is true to name! nd are reduced, to avoid picture theft.
