Do you know of anyone growing >the species of them? Hi Alberto, I will gladly send some in to the BX. I'm active in several iris clubs, so I know many people that are growing pure species too. My experience has taught me that Louisiana Irises perform their best when grown in slow moving (or completely still) shallow water. In a regular garden bed they tend to be less vigorous and more susceptible to insect damage. Dennis in Cincy
