Pacific Coast Iris

Hi John;

Thanks for the concern.  I have been attempting to search archives and get
the feel of the group before jumping in and was beginning to think I was in
a group meant for breeding only, so kept my pen mute.  It would be hard for
you to catch on to that part.

We are looking for sources of seed, or rhizomes to attempt to start the
native iris as we are having difficulty getting other types of  iris to
survive or to bloom here in our 'rain forest' on the west coast of Canada -
in the spots we have available to grow them.

We have had absolutely no luck with rebloomers and we have purchased several
each year since they became available.  The rest have failed to maintain
vigor, even though they have been split and carefully tended, as I had
managed to do for 30 years before coming to the present site, with great
success.

We would also like to understand the differences in requirements, etc., for
Pacific Coast Iris, and, as I have an interest in native plants, would
prefer to find those that originate along the BC coast, at least as a
starting point.  As I understand it, they grow more readily in partial
shade, as well, which would allow more scope for planting area.

Whatever information you can send will be gratefully received.
