Irid seed available from Chile


I received the following message from a plant/bulb/seed collector in Chile.  He's offering two irids (and an amaryllid) that people here might be interested in.  I wouldn't normally post a message like this, but thought it was worthy due to the rarity in commerce of these species.  I did some Google searching but couldn't find much info on them.
