My second favorite historic, so far, is Samurai Warrior. It bloomed shortly after Florentina, and it also had a very long bloom period.
You have to click on it to enlarge this photo to really see the detail of this awesome color!
I even set a pod on this and it still kept on blooming! Another iris wasn't so lucky, I killed that one, as it was too weak after the pod to keep on growing.
