Iris bulleyana black? SDR4775

Iridaceae

Iris bulleyana black form

Iris bulleyana

A Chinese iris in the Chrysographes subseries, usually dying down completely during the winter, reappearing to form a larger clump each year. The flowers are mid purple, with darker purple veins on the standards and on the falls, which have a light yellow zone.

Iris bulleyana black? SDR4775 are seedlings from two parent plants that we believe have black flowers. Those grown from seed collected from plants at the same site previously had very dark purple flowers, close to black.
