Re: other irids

Hello there!  Not many people here seem to grow those kinds of 
irids.  There are only two American irids that I can ever remember trying, 
Alophia drummondii and Tigridia pavonia.  During this past winter I 
discovered all sorts of others and now I'm trying them from seed:
         Chamelum frigidum
         Hesperoxiphium peruvianum
         Gelasine azurea
         Eleutherine bulbosa
         Gelasine elongata
         Cypella laxa
         Cypella osteniana
         Cypella herbertii
         Solemonelus pedunculatus
         Neomarica gracilis
         Alophia veracruzana
Most of these came from the Pacific Bulb Society which I just joined.

And I'm also trying to order a mature specimen of:
         Rigidella orthantha

I'm also trying some Australian/Tasmanian irids from seed that seem 
absolutely gorgeous:
         Diplarrhena latifolia
         Diplarrhena moraea

As for Cypella coelestis, you can get it from Plant Delights Nursery for 
$11.  http://www.plantdelights.com/Catalog/Current/Detail/03735_2.html
