The "Black Primadonna" (I like this nickname) aka "Black Suited" is going on with her blossoming.
Now a second flower (just underneath the top one) blossomed. I had to repair the flower today because of the very bad weather.

The beauty of the blossoming iris is a real spectale: in the foreground the iris germanica are visible, while on the background the later blossoming iris pallide are
Iris "Black Suited" blossomed 17.5.2017
Finally.
It was time. With another good news, this morning I woke up and the
"primadonna" was openiong her beauty to the world. (well I like to think
in this way)
The petals are intense black, with a silk flavour and a really piercing scent.
I have to admit: she is a real "primadonna"
Just have a look and you'll tell me

Iris "Black Suited" - 2017
I bought last year from "Vivaio degli Innocenti" in Florence this fantastic (very) black Iris, called "Black Suited". I was really serarching for a (very) black Iris and knowing the proficiency of this producer I bought 3 flowers, with the (crazy) intention to multiply them till to have 500/600 Black Suited Iris (at the moment I still have 3!).
What touches me of this flower is its colour and above all the appereance like silk of its petals. I also have to admit that I am waiting alreade 2 weeks for the first flower to blossom, but till now, no way. It's really a lazy iris, or - like a real primadonna - it's simply waiting for all the others fade to start to show off its class and charme. Let's see.

Barbaresco's fields ready for harvest 2017
Time flies. It's true. We planted these iris in 2014 with enthusiasm and a lot of hope. Now 3 years have already passed and our iris grew a lot.
I have to admit they are and look really great and sometimes I am sorry I cannot reproduce their beauty with pictures.
The blossoming this year came a little bit early and the Iris Germanica lasted quite few time, as usual. At the contrary the other colors are lasting all this month.
The quantity and quality of the Iris Pallida is really astonishing and the scent that these 6.000 iris provide is something really unique.
On the other hand we also obtained a good amount of Iris florentina (bottom) with its fantastic white and pure color.
The long and parfumed rows of Iris Pallida provide a spendid glance.

"Roero" Project moves on - Fields 2017 (April - May)
One year has passed: winter, snow, autumn and again sunny days, but our project didn't stop. At the contrary we moved on. The iris (Germanica & Pallida) with the protection of the foil passed a wonderful winter, with no stress.
We had to repair just once in December the foils, because a very cold and violent rain.
After that we rested likewise our splendid iris.
Actually, they were waiting for us with fantastic and unexpected blossoming.
The first to blossom - as usual - were the middle sized "iris germanica" with their intense violet color. (bottom)
After few days, while the iris germanica were already starting to fade, the glorious "iris pallida" started to compete in beauty (bottom)
And in very few days they reached a 80 cm tall size (like 2 years old ones!), growing day by day in this very rich land.
Some patience more, and the iris pallida provided the most unique spectacle: bottom
Just one "intruder" was found; but we could not be angry at it, because of its celestial orange (and rare) color in the middle of that sea of pale azure
I wrote a lot of romantic sentences. But this is because I love these flowers and I would be stay there all the time I can.
By the way this doesn't mean that we didn't start the new works: at the contrary!
With good will we started to put down new squares of foils, because this year a new 10.000 iris will be planted over there, together with some roses.
At the moment, we are cleaning 100% all by hand in the respect of the nature and of the persons that will honour us by buying our products.
