This is maiden bloom (for me) of I. versicolor "Kreighoff" (T. Huber, 
1993).  It's much more to my liking than "Between The Lines" which I 
posted a few days ago.  I prefer the darker/bolder colors.  "Cat 
Mousam" (a dark blue) is another favorite.  "Mysterious Monique" (a 
near-black) is probably the most famous versicolor.

For more than a year I tried growing my versicolors in regular garden 
beds side-by-side with the TBs but they really sulked and never 
bloomed.  Then last year I put them in containers on the patio and 
gave them lots of water and they grew like mad.  This year they are 
rewarding me with lots of bloom.  (Kreighoff & Between The Lines 
bloomed for the first time for me.)

I'm still awaiting bloom on "Mysterious Monique", "Cat Mousam", "John 
Wood", and some unregistered seedlings.
