James,

missouriensis is usually in the SIGNA seed exchange, but I don't know
about "large quantities". As it happens, a friend of mine
sent me a packet of seeds she had collected near Moab, UT, which will go
into the exchange this winter.

Friends,
I successfully grow Loiusianas, Setosas, versicolor, virginica, lacteam
sibs, bearded, pseudacorus, PCIs, and weeds, but Rocky Mountain
Iris defeats me. One of the faithful sent me a large packet of seed
three years ago; none germinated the first year, and there was a
reasonable germination the second year. I grew them in pots for a
year, and then transplanted about 10 survivors in different parts of my
yard. It occurs nataurally in such a large range, that I am
surprised that it won't survive in one of the places I have tried, but I
am thinking I should pour lots of lime around it, or plant it in masonry
rubble, since our soil is very acetic.
Does anyone else have a large quantity of seed. I do not intend to give
up.
