Day 226: I have a particular fondness for "black" flowers and Superstition is about as black as iris can be. Seen here in bright light at close range, it looks purple, but from a distance (my living room window, for example), its hue deepens until the purple is no more than a highlight on its midnight falls. It is susceptible to variations in soil pH, however. Rootstock from this same plant produced mahogany-red blossoms when grown in another part of the yard.
