Thanks Colleen. Then it is
quite possible that both of mine are Boss Tweed. The darker iris is growing in
the shade and the lighter one is growing in the sun. The pictures were also
taken in different years. The darker one bloomed last year but not this year.
The lighter one bloomed this year, but not last.

The darker one with a purple flash looks just
like my Boss Tweed, but the colour does change in bright sunshine and I think
the purple flash can fade fairly quickly.

Thank you for the info Jan. I got this from a local iris
sale with the Nashville
Iris Society. It is possible that it is
not correct. I will check it out!
Have a great night

Jan and Linda, I have two
iris from the same place, one labled Boss Tweed, the other Battlestar. My
Boss Tweed is the darker one with the violet spot. My Battlestar looks
exactly like it, but is more honey tan with no voilet. I thought it was
the same iris when it first bloomed. Below are pictures of the two.

Linda,
I believe that this iris is too red to be Boss Tweed. The
Checklist says:
Boss Tweed (James McWhirter, R. 1992) TB, 38" M. Ruffled honey
tan brown, white area under gold beards, slight fragrance. Arabian
Tapestry x Role Model. Cottage 1993
Your picture shows a red-brown iris with a violet area under the
beard. When mine bloomed it was much more honey.
So I went on-line to Google Images and typed iris + Boss
Tweed. It pulled up a mixture of tan and red-brown irises.
Mine looked like the honey-tan with white under the beard. Yours
looks like the red-brown with violet under the beard.
