Anvil of Darkness, a black iris cultivar, shows that she’s really a very very dark purple in the sunlight

Anvil of Darkness 🖤 blooming her heart out. I got this for my birthday several years ago after wanting one forever. Such a beauty & so striking next to the color of the other irises in the bed.

One of my very favorite irises, the Anvil of Darkness, growing in one of our flower beds, has bloomed for me again this year. I’m always excited to see her. Last year, she bloomed in May under a Flower Moon. This year, closer to my birthday in April.

My little Anvil of Darkness has opened 🖤 my heart is full! Welcome back from your sleep, sister!

“Anvil of Darkness” Iris blooming in a pot after two years of rest. She’s a black iris and those are usually extremely deep purple or red.

Hoping that my Anvil of Darkness (seen last yr) returns to bless me. She opened for the first time under the Flower Moon aft a 2-year sleep. I know it’s just a plant, but it really felt magical. Welcome, sister!
