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....
