Dear Jim et al; Traditionally Spanish Iris have been selections of I. xiphium PERIOD. Likewise, English iris are selections of I. latifolia PERIOD But, both of these and other related species* have contributed to the complex of Dutch Iris Theoretically there can be NO hybrid English or Spanish Iris, by definition these would be Dutch Iris (all hybrids). Coincidentally I just received a new highly detail list of Iris cv still in draft form, that shows over 40 named Spanish Iris cvs. I know some time ago I have seen some of these offered. The Dutch bulb wholesale Dix Export is currently offering the named I xiphium 'Lusitanica', 4 named I. latifolia' and a host of Dutch hybrids. Of course the geographical names of the Cultivar Groups has almost no relationship with their origins. And what you order and what you get are two very distinct things. I think you'd have better luck dealing directly with a high quality English Bulb Dealer such as Pottertons or similar. Mayube other members can make a suggestion. Of course you need the right climate too and we discussed the difficulties of long term success with Dutch iris in the last year or so. Few people succeed. Good luck. Jim W. -- Dr. James W.
