INTERESTING INFO: From the 1939 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: The new "black" iris; practically a self. The standards are deepest black-purple and the sheen of the heavy falls is so lustrous that a large part of their areas appears literally black, reminding one of the color of black pansies, which are also literally black save for a blending of deepest purple near the edges and the center. $15.00.
