<< have had a quick search thru half a dozen catalogues from within
Australia, the big commercial growers plus a few "backyarders". However
only the big guys do the importing. No luck. I think that it might not even
made to our shores ...yet. It seems to be a hot topic on the iris-l lately
making me think it is a relatively new intro. >>
Actually, WABASH (Williamson, 1936) is a very much beloved historic iris. It
is widely grown in the States, and widely available. The question of export to
Australia is a thorny problem at this time, however. I suggest that if you
wish to consider importing that you contact the following British firm, whose
1998 catalog, listing WABASH, indicates they export world wide.
