I just planted them last fall so I am happy they survived this hideous winter! This is a rarer variety from 1910 called "Negro Boy". Crappy name, awesome flower!
A few more photos on my blog.

My are slowing emerging after a long but somewhat dry winter.
But then get covered in snow and frigid temps.
Planted many in 8" bulb planters with various Spring bulbs
for hopefully Easter blooms. They are all in the greenhouse with nice growth.
That's a nice blue color you've got there!
Thanks Sequoia! It's very intense in color and it looks very pretty next to the Jeanne d'Arcs and Remembrances that are coming up next to it. :)
Care to post a photo of both together?
Sure! Just took this one -
