The nursery in Duncan is called Millar Mountain Nursery and the address is
5086 McLay RD, RR # Duncan, BC V8L 2X1 Tel: 250-748-0487
The lady who owns it is Kathy Millar, the info I have is from a 1994
catalogue. I heard she dropped all her JI in favour of species, I haven't
ordered any irises since 1994/5 so can't help much more than that.
Although there is another perennial nursery north of Victoria... Mosswood
Perennials, Ron Pal at ux146@freenet.victoria.bc.ca, tel: 604-474-3322. He
has an interesting nursery, and I think he got all of Kathy Millar's JI, so
call him if you need more info.
You might, as a long shot, try Rainforest Gardens in Maple Ridge (east of
Vancouver) 13139-224 St Maple Ridge BC, V2X 7E7,
http://www.dsoe.com/rainforest they have lots of interesting plants and
you never know -there might be some irises.
Hope this is useful,
Anne
