I love this iris it is one of the only ones that bloomed this year. Our winter was very hard on a lot of my plants this year. I lost a few.

Pugsmom76.

I have a black iris too. Do you know what the name of yours is??

Welcome Pugsmom......that is a nice black iris.

Welcome, Pugsmom. Maybe Night Ruler? Mine did not bloom this year.

I have a couple black iris too, but not as dark as yours!

Most of us have suffered losses in blooms and rhizomes this year/winter. It was a bad winter, followed by a bad spring.

Pugsmom, nice black one.

Our SDB Black Lightning bloomed this year. Might as well collect the little guys also. From Canada.

Lucy - I love that little guy!!

The only black I have is 'Hello Darkness'. It's got beautiful flowers, but is a weak grower for me. Nice to see one that is a survivor of harsher conditions than we have.
Love 'Black Lightning'!

Black lightning is awesome!

I see some "Black Lightning"in my future ...Arlyn

It sometimes gets a bit tall, but wonderful flowers & that color early in the year.

Love that Black Lightning.

I had one black iris bloom this year: Ghost Train. Black Suited didn't show this Spring. GT is beautiful. It bloomed for over two weeks.

This Black is Superstition






There is another one just barely open and I think its a different variety.

Superstition is in the ancestry of many blacks. A very reliable iris itself.

Pugsmom!

Black is my favorite color, so I love black irises!

Hello Pugsmom. I quested after a black iris for about five years buying ones that were described as black. All that I bought turned out to be shades of purple, reds or blues. I liked some of them and gave the rest away. I got in a miff about misnaming the color of irises and would not buy any more described as black. It is like my quest for a true blue...... most are shades of purple. The picture you posted looks really black. Does it have a name?.......here I go again....
