Sour Cherry (Meggyes)

Pennonia Meggyes is a dark burgundy with excellent flow and a rich, strong color. The ink is saturated but can still offer shading properties. The name translates simply to Sour Cherry and I chose it because we had a huge sour cherry tree in the garden during my childhood. I always liked how beautiful the tree was when it was full of fruit, the colors ranging from vivid red all the way to an almost complete black. We used to hang the cherries on our ears and wore them as earrings. Ironically I never liked the taste of sour cherries.

"Meggy" refers to a type of cherry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prunus_cerasus
