Hi Pete. Here is a pic of paradoxa from Ken Walker and one of atrata by me this year. Brian Mathew
says "(forma atrata) which has blackish-violet standards as well as the falls".

It must be awsome Mirriam.
I've still got a bud or two to come  :P there is a paradoxa dragging its heels!  can any one tell me how to distinguish Iris paradoxa ssp paradoxa from ssp atrata? my plants look the same, a great gene pool but which one and which do I lack?

Well in that case this one should qualify as Iris paradoxa atrata! :) it is nearly black, Pictures taken today and yesterday

Definitely Peter - if ever they outgrow the pot... you might have no trouble at all to find a home for the spares...  ;D ;D

I would say so Peter. What Ruksans calls "Sevan" may be the same thing. I have it but not bloomed yet.

Hans A and I have both pictured plants of Janis's 'Sevan' so I would say so but neither are as dark as this

Chris your closeup is one of the joys of growing arils. Why would mother nature have her paint brush out to create flowers with dots and lines? ??? :D

Great flowers all!
Long gone here, though great excitement as Vera Olivia has set seed!
3 clumps and maybe 40 flowers, crossed with anything that was flowering
at the same time has yielded 10 seeds!
Two years time, with luck, to see the offspring flower........
Hristo passed away, after a long illness, on 11th November 2018. His support of SRGC was  much appreciated.
