I love these dark flowers, especially this Iris it teally is like its name...

Yes indeed muddy! Spring begins on March 20th - my birthday!! Very apt! This Iris is very beautiful and sultry. I've not seen this colour before, it is very lovely, although I feel it would be almost invisible in the border against the soil. Interesting though...
