{Disarmed} Re: HYB: Black seedling

It is great Francelle.  Is this it's first year blooming?  Is that a touch of mahogany that I see on the hafts?
Thanks for sharing.

This is 31-52B, Purple Pirouette X Romantic Evening.  It's darker than either parent and the only black iris I've ever had that grows well and blooms without burning in my garden.   I've no idea what it would do any place else.
