RE: Iris rossii

 

I aquired a plant under the name I. rossii in 2002 from Munchkin Nursery. Seems it survived a few years but never bloomed, at least I never got a picture of it. It's not listed on their web page but they might still have it in their gardens.

Dear Iris species group,

In our search for seed of new and rare Iris species for the SIGNA Seed Exchange we regularly communicate with gardeners and botanist all over the place. We were very fortunate to get some pictures from a very avid Japanese grower of the rare Iris rossii ( Haruhiko Kimura of Saitura, Japan ) This species is in the Series Chinenses along with more common I. minutoaurea, I. henryi and others. It is considered rare in Japan, Korea and China where it grows. Dennis has posted these very intriguing pictures to the SIGNA Database at http://signa.org/index.pl?Iris-rossii

And NO we still haven't located a supply of seeds, but we keep trying and would appreciate any leads any members may have for possible new additions to the Seed Exchange.  We do not believe it has ever been cultivated in the US and plants are not available.
