That
doesn't mean name is correct.
Do you remember where you got you
cultivar.?
Here is "The Black Douglas". It and Sable were the "Black"
iris of that time. Both were what we would now call dark purple. No
ruffling and not nearly the shade of black of your cultivar. And much narrower
petals.
If your "Black Beauty" was around in 19389 it would have
won dykes medal hands down.
I just checked the 1939 check list. "Black
Beauty" was registered in 1928 by Kirk, who died in 1939. the on line list
refers to the 1939 checklist, not the year of introduction.

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.

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:
Thank you,
