I assume by "self fertile" you mean can a flower pollinate itself (as opposed to 2 different plants of the same species pollinating each other)? There's an iris-species group (mailing list) on yahoogroups that you might want to investigate. (Or I can post the message for you, if you wish it.) Good luck! Dennis in Cincinnati
