A friend of mine cultivates this interesting plant. She says that it is
called 'Black Beauty', a new cultivar from Holland. However, this
particular
variety is supposed to have very small yellow petals and her plant's
flowers
consist of black cones and green sepals only (real curiosity, BTW). Could
anyone growing this Black Beauty thing confirm the presence of yellow
petals, please?

Regards, Barbara.

I am not growing it but this link shows the yellow ring-scroll down to
polygonatum

This link does *not* show the ring but tells you all about it
