Shaub,
Thanks for your e-mail re: Iris hexagona at Plant
Delights Nursery.
As to the provenance of our I. hexagona offering: All
of our Iris hexagona are produced from divisions of our garden specimens. We
originally received our specimens from Eco Gardens in Decatur, GA sometime
prior to 2002. I do not know of any other sources of this species.
Iris hexagona was in our catalog as recently as 2012,
but we do not currently have it in production. However, it is a plant that we
sell periodically and will likely have again in the future. It is not on our
production schedule right now, but we are a small nursery and those things
change frequently and rapidly. So stay tuned!
We have a dedicated Iris web page that lists all of
our Irises for sale.
http://www.plantdelights.com/Iris/products/220/
We also keep separate pages for Belamcanda,
Pardanthopsis, and xPardancanda because lots of shoppers still consider them
separate from Iris.

http://www.plantdelights.com/Pardanthopsis/products/1046/
and we have a general irid page as well
http://www.plantdelights.com/Irids/products/984/
Feel free to bookmark them and check them frequently. We have 2 major website
changes (January and August) that correspond to our spring and fall catalog
releases, but we are always adding small crops and special releases to the
website at odd intervals, so you never know when something cool might show up.
If you want to stay abreast of the newest plants, we
maintain a 'new releases' web page at:
http://www.plantdelights.com/New-Plants-on-the-Website/products/1037/
and we also have an e-newsletter that you can sign up
for where we mention new releases and other exciting stuff.

BTW:
We are in the process of updating our website and we
plan on adding a plant wish list feature for plants that are out of production.
That way we can be more responsive to our customers and if a particular plant
'wished for' a lot, we will be aware of it and put it into production. We have
a tentative summer release for this feature. So when this happens, make sure
that you come back and click the Iris hexagona wish list button to cast your
vote!
Please feel free to e-mail at any time with any other
questions that you may have.
