Julie Finn--
foetidissima comes up by itself all over my woodland garden if the seed
pods are not picked off. Originally I grew it by germinating seeds just as
you describe. Perhaps the seeds themselves were bad; little is known about
length of life in iris seeds, but many woodland plants have short-lived
seeds.
So far as I know, you do not have to be in AIS to join SIGNA.
Best wishes, Bill
