I am looking for a dark wine self (or bi-color if the standards and falls are still shades of dark wine) and a good orange iris. Would prefer large and ruffled. Any suggestions for cultivars???

dark wine and good orange iris..please advise
We can grow 'Celtic Glory' (Stahly) in our zones ,6a & 5. 'Cackling Caldera' (Aitken) is an orange-yellow blend, which stands out in the garden. Have you looked at the Winterberry catalog in VA? They don't do a website, but would have the wine colored plants historic & new.
Yes, I have been looking at all of the websites I can find. Winterberry is not too far from the route I take to vist my daughter and I am thinking about going there later this year. In the meantime, I am going to order a catalog/list from them. I just wanted some ideas before I traded/purchased any.

I really like the 'Viva Mexico'. A really nice color! 'Golden Panther' is nice and dark too. The last 'wine' looks like a dark purple to me on here and a lot of nice pics of wine irises, but looking for something almost black but in a really dark wine color.

#1- Accent? Will keep thinking
Thankyou. I have a lot of Iris and haven't got a name for any of them. BEV
I grow several oranges (always sell well). One of my favorites is Fireside Glow. It is an older Sch intro. Wild Thing is a good wine along with Gypsy Romance.
Maybe, you can send the photo to rshadlow o f Iris Sisters and she will be able to identify it. I think she might recognize it.
Oh, boy, Dark Passion is a knock out! Looks very velvety.
And so is Ghost Train!
