RE: BULB - danfordiae

Hi, John.  When I was out your way a few years ago in the Spring (before
irises took over my garden), I visited the UBC gardens.  They had some
species iris (I don't remember which) and they sell the seeds.  I picked up
setosa seeds then.

Ian Efford could probably tell you which species bloom between the
danfordiae/reticulatas and the MDBs.  I don't imagine that there are many.
The few I've seen bloom with the medians.
