Oz should have an excellent climate for arils & arilbreds...the "desert" iris.
Are they popular down under? Are there any major hybridisation projects

Do you grown them, Paul? Jan? Anyone else?? I have a vague recollection of
Jan talking about growing them, but don't remember any other aussies mention
