Re: Spring

Zua is still in commerce. It's available at Bluebird Haven Iris Garden
http://www.bluebirdhavenirisgarden.com
which is an excellent source for historic bearded iris.
They sell some bearded species iris as well.
And, speaking of space age iris, they have a very large
selection of Lloyd Austin iris (the originator of the first
space age iris and coiner of the term).
