People here are always starting seeds of many strange and wonderful kinds. It has occurred to me that some might want to start some iris species from seed.
I am the seed sale chairman for SIGNA, Species Iris Group of North America. Naturally, anyone is welcome to join and order seeds from this years seed sale. I think we have members on all continents except Antartica. But if you don't have that level of interest, non-members can buy leftover seeds at $0.50 per packet. A packet often has only 5 seeds, especially if it is a rare kind of seeds. Some packets may have more seeds per packet. Old seeds from SIGNA have gereminated as well for me as new seeds. The seed list is at www.signa.org/index.pl?SurplusSeeds
Don't know what these species look like? Go here and click on a name. www.signa.org/index.pl?Database Most have pictures and information on where they are from. Note that iris relatives include Gladiolus, Crocus, and genera you won't recognize. There are iris species native to desert, standing water, and everything else.
If there is an X in the column under Quantity, we are out of that species. Some of the genera are tropical and are treated like Amarylis. Seeds are free to botanical gardens and arboritums, or for research.
