Re: Re: Forgot to include photo of Iris setosa?

Debbie,

Iris setosa has a very wide distribution, ranging over North America to Siberia and Northern Japan.  Various forms are known and some have stronger standards than others.  From forms I've seen, the plant in question looks pretty correct.  Maybe Jim Waddick can comment.

And setosa means 'with hair', but I don't know what they were referring to.

I agree that the standards are much too large to be a straight Iris 
setosa.  at least, it is not like any of the Iris setosa I have seen 
around here growing wild or in any garden.  

I think "setosa" means somthing like "no standards".

If I knew how to post a picture to this message, I would.

Would anyone be interested in Iris setosa seed for the seed 
exchange?  It is so very common here we usually throw it away.  Maybe 
I can find some full pods.
