Zelma,
As Sterling mentioned the Iris Gallery carries a varied selection of I.
Unguicularis. They have an 800 number, call for a catalog.
1-800-757-iris.
33450 Little Valley road, Fort Bragg, CA 95437.
You could probably grow Unguicularis at your location but in a protected
spot. Only because this will protect the blooms from frosts at your
elevation. Some may get frosted but during warm spells in the winter
they will bloom profusely. I would go with the species first as they
have the longest bloom period, November thru February in CA and have a
fragrance reminiscent of hyacinths.
