Steve,     I can only offer some negative advice :).   All crosses I have
tried to All Night Long or Hollywood Nights have not taken; which is a shame
since I think they have some of the best flower form.  When crossing Blacks
(similar to pinks), out crosses to other tones will rarely result in any
blacks (or pinks).


Midnight Oil was probably the darkest I have grown. It
blooms late for me and the flowers tended to burn up in the heat, probably
because of the color.  Make sure whatever cv you try are going to be in sync
bloom time wise with your other Iris.
