Thanks Greg,
Just as important is the information you've
collected on the species.

I have one I. milesii seedling from 09CR040
(Signa seed) in the basement. One seed germinated spring 2010. I'm hoping
there will be additional germinating next spring. Often that does occur.
If it does, I'll share one with you.
By the way. I had this seedling growing on the
back porch all summer where it reached 3-4" in height. I forgot to bring
it inside until the other night when the temperature was well down
in the teens. It has stayed totally evergreen with no sign of dormancy. Even
Pseudacorus and other hardy seedlings have gone dormant but not the
milesii - "green as grass". It has not been exposed to dessicating
winds since it was inside the enclosed porch, but it has tolerated
several weeks of night temperatures below freezing. Several nights have
gone below 20 degrees F.
The seedling reminds me of I. tektorum in
its seedling stage, which is not all that surprising.
