Hi Linda

You're in luck, I've managed to find my photo, plus seedling number,
attached. Looks the same, and when I do a bit of detective work, well,
look up Schreiners' site, they actually have the seedling number in
their description

"By popular demand we are introducing into commerce this dazzler which
was seen at the Will Rogers Garden as Seedling #MM 254-1 during the 2007
American Iris Society National Convention in Oklahoma City. This
pitch-black beauty, from our /Midnight Revelry/, is remarkable because
of the sheer degree of its black color. Its most unique feature though
is the unique creamy buttermilk beard with a yellow throat. What an
outstanding contrast against the purple-black velvet texture in the
falls! It produces 6-7 buds per stalk on sturdy three-branched stems. "

Yes it is the same.

Good memory on your part. Nice colouring, but a bit narrow for my taste.

Colleen, is this that yellow bearded black seedling we admired in
Portland?  I can't find my notes re: seedling number.  I've been
wondering whatever happened to it.

Thanks Colleen.  The Schreiner website photo isn't very attractive, but
I do remember us looking at it and discussing what a unique bloom it was
with that combination of yellow beard on black flower.

I don't remember what all else we discussed, but one comment you made
stuck in my mind - that it would make a good commercial iris because
many? of your customers are always looking for something new and
different and wouldn't care too much about anything else.  And that this
struck us as one of the most unique ones we saw that day in the seedling
rows.

Which makes me think we thought it had some faults? or I should say
didn't suit our tastes. I don't remember what, but maybe it was the width. 


Yes it is the same.

Good memory on your part. Nice colouring, but a bit narrow for my taste.
