I nhave sent seeds to Australia from Europe, the rules seem quite simple,
if the name of the seeds is on the permitted list for seeds for import they
go straight through, but if not, or if they are not clean I believe there
is little chance. this is a link to the Australian permitted list for Iris
seeds, I think the page will allow searches for other genera.
