Apologies for then late reply, Joan, I've been away.
I live in southern England and have Iris magnifica in my garden, doing well now
for several years. If you remind me in late summer I will send you some seeds
if that is of any use to you.
Regards,
Blanka

so whatever you are doing is working for me. I wonder if you or any one else
getting this can tell me a source of Iris magnifica, the only Juno I had last
for several years. The year it got away we had unseasonably warm Feb. and
March, dropping down to -8 F on April 8--it was already up about a foot and did
not survive. Another iris I''d like to find is one I called "Horinaka's red".
I got it and a nice bright blue from Horinaka several years ago. Both were very
nice, but especially the red and I think I lost them by by selling and sharing
too many and then planting the rest too close to my Black Walnut trees. If
anyone happens to have gotten either of them from me or anyone else, I'd sure
like to hear about it. I have Snowdrops and Trillium rivale poking up and ready
to bloom.
