Hi Dennis:
There are several named cvs of I. reticulata - although the names don't come
to mind at the moment. Some are blue, some almost white and the others shades
of velvety purple. I personally find the darker ones more attractive.
You are definately too late this year, but I would recommend getting a couple
of good bulb catalogs in 1999 and ordering from them. Some recommendations
would be McClure and Zimmerman, Old House Gardens, Van Engelen. The latter
is a wholesale catalog and you must buy larger quantities (so order with a
friend).
