I am going to be a "doubting Thomas" re this I. sikkimensis. I have received
seeds from botanic gardens which were supposedly this species, but they never
were. I know of no living iris authority who has ever seen this iris, and I
must seriously doubt if Munchkin Nurseries really has it. If so, the price
should be enormous for such a rarity!!! I do not think it exists in
cultivation. Always willing to learn and change my mind based on evidence
though. Clarence Mahan in VA
