Superstition.......


The iris reminds me of the black iris that can be seen in catalogs. This is my artsy photo of it. This was named superstition when I bought it.  It actually is black in color but fades to a dark blue in time.


The camera picks up the bluish cast in the iris and makes it look more blue in color that it really is.  I will of course shoot other photos as it fades to show its other color.  This hybrid iris is a sturdy thing and has survived a lot of different weather.  Other iris die out but this one is robust and gets bigger every year.
