I wanted to mention that the Species Iris Group of North America often has this species available in their seed exchange. Sometimes the people donating the seed have actually travelled to the native country to collect the seeds, and so they are indeed authentic. Of course I can't guarantee that this species is always available, but it's worth this researcher investigating. SIGNA's website is http://www.signa.org/ Dennis in Cincinnati
