Also by a strange coincidence, I'm one of the member recipients of seed from SIGNA, with a question!! Should the seed be planted now, or can it be held until early spring. I live in the maritime Pacific Northwest (Western Washington, USA to be more exact). Or is this one of those questions that depends on what I have? I'm assuming I'm at the bottom of the learning curve concerning Iris germination, as I haven't had as great a success as desired, especially with the bearded Iris. I'd like to echo that SIGNA is another great group, with a very informative newsletter, that comes pre-punched for a three ring binder (I just wish someone would adjust the hole punch!!... hint hint). Thanks for any advise offered, Dave Brastow - zone 7A they say : we had our first frost last night, after several weeks of day temps in the 50's and 60's (F) and nights in the upper 30's to mid 40's
