RE: Late additions to the seed exchange

---

In Idaho the pseudacorus made the list last year under containment.  I was allowed to keep the plants I already had on display but cannot sell the plants to anyone or any seeds. 
The only reason I was allowed to keep plants in the garden was because I was no way near any water situations (Lake, streams, ponds etc)  or irrigation ditch areas.  So Containment seems to mean
that the plant must be contained on your property, cannot be near irrigation ditches or natural water ways.  Since it was new to the list last year there may be
some changes here.  I will have to see what my inspector says this spring when he checks the garden. 
The reasons for this change was listed as "likely able to move along streams more than 100 yards per year," and " seeds have increased germination after fire"
The ones that must be removed/or totally contained in the state of Idaho are so far only the yellow ones with the listing I. pseudacorus and Yellow Flag Iris.   
I will let you know if the list status changes this year. The local garden nurseries also were inspected for this plant last year and they could not be sold.
Also still in question is if they have to be removed there seemed to be some indecision on how they wanted them disposed of.
