SABLE NIGHT looks a lot more like your last photo in this group than it does the first. It is a dark purple. This photograph suggests kinship with GOLDEN RUSSET, although I don't think it is that variety.

I would consider anything in this garden suspect in its labeling from what you have shown.

ALLEGIANCE did have a form a little like this iris shown, but considering the color saturation of the garden as a whole, I suspect the blossom was much darker in color than this photograph, making the identification at least possible. ALLEGIANCE was/is a rather dark blue on the violet side.

Digital photography has a tendency to make yellow to orange-yellow beards look much redder than they are. The beard on this looks tangerine. ALLEGIANCE certainly did not have a tangerine beard.
