SIGNA is the Species Iris Group of North America, a section
of the American Iris Society. It is dedicated to the study,
preservation and promotion of species iris. To be an offical
member you must be a member ofthe AIS. Non AIS members
my subscribe to the newsletter, also called SIGNA. One highlight
is the annual seed exchange. This year's exchange offered about
650 lots of seeds from iris species, hybrids and related plants.
For more information on SIGNA and some information on and
photos of species irises see the web page at www.bigfoot.com/~SIGNA.
(This is a on a new host with much better performance than the
previous one.)

As for saving seeds, please read the suggestions that came with
your seed list. It is important to hand pollinate if there is a chance
that your particular iris will cross with something else in bloom
in your garden. Seeds listed from named culitvars are most often
open pollinated.
