Hi Jim - I'd be glad to donate as much pallida as you want (within
reason), but I only have one kind & don't know what strain it might be,
other than generic east Tennessee everybody grows it iris.
Places I've gotten species in the past:
Steve Varner (can't think of the name of his nursery right now) - 2
clones of variegata and several of aphylla. He lists several clones of
several species, plus species crosses.
Don & Ginny Spoon (Winterberry Gardens) - they had several species
listed last year.
Let me know if you find a bunch of different pallida strains - someone
from the list offered some to me last year, unfortunately, I didn't
follow up, or they didn't send them & now I've forgotten who it was.
drat.
I have some of a yellow I. reichenbachii from SIGNA seed grown by Ian
Efford (I think?). I'd also be interested in finding more strains of
this species - let me know if you find a source. Sure grows like a weed
here.
Wildwood Gardens sez on p 24 that they have many species and species
crosses - list on request soon. But it looks like this may only be
beardless species.
Hope this helps..

I. reticulata in bud today, lush new growth on some of the dumber TBs.
