Only just caught up with your beautiful black Iris atropurpurea, Pat, it's so striking........and the combination of Iris hermona hybrid dark form and Iris haynei is great  :)

Iris atropurpurea again in two place in the garden
and an unknown aril which came up in a spot that looked like a grave - hence the name - after I moved what I thought was all from that site. Seed must have been left behind to germinate later on. I have a couple of these patches now.

Glorious plants, Pat!  :o
Thanks for showing also the enviroment where they grow.
Not sure, but the plant labeled as Thor seems to be 100% Onco (and this percentage would be to high  ::))
