Re: HIST: black list

A couple of other excellent sources for historic iris
(and possibly some of the black list ones) are:

Bluebird Haven Iris Garden
http://www.bluebirdhavenirisgarden.com
Mary has many more iris than she lists in
her catalog - email her for questions about
a specific variety.

and

Superstition Iris Garden
2536 Old Highway, Dept. H
Catheys Valley, California 95306-9738
Phone: (209) 966-6277

(as far as I know Superstition doesn't have a web site,
though you can reach them by email at randrcv@sierratel.com
and they have a large number of pictures of the iris they
sell viewable at: http://community.webshots.com/user/rickt103
Page 2 of the three pages is where the historic iris pictures are)

Jean
zone 9, SF bay area
where one last Japanese iris opened yesterday!

As for possible sources for "Black List" Iris, I would go to those selling
Historics (older than 30 years).  There are a number of businesses.  I am
probably missing several good sources here, but these come to mind.  I have
not checked their lists for these, but I know that some of them are listed.
Some (many?) may be impossible to find.

Argyle Acres
Blue Cloud Iris
Iris City Gardens
Iris Colorado
Malevil Iris Gardens
Nicholson's Woodland Iris Garden
Riverview Iris Gardens
Winterberry Gardens

Also, if you're a member HIPS has an annual sale (which I hope I haven't
missed out on this year, because I lost my copy of 'Roots' and just now
found it again - uhg!).

There are sources outside the country, but I have not dealt with any yet.
With the latest set of regulations on importing plants to the US, many
foreign businesses have quit shipping here entirely - it's not worth the
trouble.  It's a bit of trouble to be the importer too!
