Day 243: As black as irises come, Superstition holds its color better than most. The hue is somewhat affected by soil acidity and may appear more maroon or even dark red. The falls are bearded with a lighter purple which reveals a hint of saffron yellow deep in the heart of the bloom, and several flowers will emerge from each stalk. This iris has a fragrance as rich as its dark shade, an aroma some people liken to grape Kool-aid, slightly lighter than that of true "scented" irises, and lovely on a warm afternoon.
