Hi Melanie, Aitken's Salmon Creek Garden and Redbud Lane both listed ILA in
their 1999 catalogs and Chehalem Gardens and Adamgrove Gardens listed it in
their 1998 catalogs. You can find the addresses at www.irises.org. There is
also a Spuria ILA CRAWFORD and a Louisiana iris ILA NUNN.
Welcome to the list.
