Bonnie, a good source of a beginning colection of spurias is the Region 14
Fall Regional. Shepard's Iris in Phoenix is a good source of spurias. They
have email but no web site.
There are a lot of brown or partly brown spurias. If you don't like brown,
screen the descriptions carefully. There are some really nice blues but they
are harder to find.
