I'm sure it's the same Black Beauty, as there are no others in the AIS online register.  I've had mine for well over 10 years.

Taking into account a better photo & a different angle, it sure looks like my Black Beauty, which is quite lovely.

The only registered iris with the name "Black Beauty" was 1939.

It does not look like a 1939 iris to me.

Does anyone know Jan Leaky of Missouri?

I don't have a good phone number for her and am trying to find out the name of the iris

she won Honorable Mention on in the Youth Division 2009.  The link is below.

 

Or does anyone know the name.  I have several people really wanting to know:
