Iris tuberosa is quite common in the countryside around my area and color variants are occasionally seed but very rare. There is a normal variability in the amount of black vs the green part of tepals, some individuals looking almost black. I have spotted from time to time some 'bluish' individuals but not enough distinctive to be collected, so far. But I have found a totally golden individual and after many years another one and for the first time I am sowing seeds from these two cross pollinated each other. If selfed they will yeald green and black plants again, so it's clearly a recessive gene. Also I have never seen any color variant around those yellow in the wild, to confierm it doesn't reproduce true to type.Angelo PorcelliItaly
