I consider Dangerous Mood to be totally blue, but the AIS registry says its beards are purple tipped with yellow. It looks blue to me. Can't tell you much about blooming times of Blueberry Bliss vs. Dangerous Mood. Blueberry Bliss is in a much sunnier and warmer spot than Dangerous Mood and Dangerous Mood hasn't bloomed yet for me. Blueberry Bliss bloomed magnificently and early last year. The picture I showed you was from the 2007 Iris Convention.

There is at least one Batik -like flower that is blue. Have a look at Gazellegant and Gnu Blues. I haven't grown either, and there are probably broken color blues that I don't know, as well. But Brad Kasperek seems to be the main breeder of Broken Color Iris.

Here is another picture of Dangerous Mood. Cameras do funny things with blues and it does seem that most of them appear to be purple. For the border iris -- I know Baby Blue Marine is a lovely true blue.
