Another thing to consider: When I have friends or family go through the garden in Spring, they are often drawn to the distinct patterns and unusual colors. The black ones are big hits. If I had a purple Iris that had perfect branching and lots of buds, they are not going to even notice it. And I am sure this goes on at display farms too. Sometimes that variety of color/patterns can really get someone who hasn't grown them before, excited about irises.
