The Black Tulip . . . er, The Partially Black Iris

Marash Girl had read about the rarity of the Black Tulip in Alexander Dumas' novel (adventure mystery, if she remembers correctly) entitled THE BLACK TULIP.  Thus it was with awe that she approached her garden yesterday afternoon to see a partially black iris in full bloom.

  1. Black and blue and pretty too. Black and blue looks better on your iris, than it would on my iris.

    1. And black and blue without ever getting into fisticuffs with its neighbor -- or perhaps that's how it got black and blue!
