The red evaded him and breeders are still trying today. However, in 1917 Bliss offered 'Dominion’ for sale, a ground-breaking purple iris with rounded dark velvety falls. Laetitia Munro (writing in Roots, the journal of the Historic Iris Preservation Society), explains that Bliss crossed a rosy iris 'Cordelia’ with a purple species – I. macrantha. In 1905 two seeds were harvested, but they did not germinate until 1907. One purple two-tone iris flowered in 1909; Bliss was disappointed because he was hoping for a redder flower. In 1910, when it flowered again, it caught the eye of Bliss’s 10-year-old niece Phyllis. She admired it greatly. 'Dominion’ was the iris that would make Bliss world-famous.
