Michelle, Are you referring to I. douglasiana, the Douglas Iris, that grows all the way up and down California? It is being sold here in native plant sales right now. But, in your case, it might be easier to start from seed, which develop quite quickly, although not in one year. Seed is surely available in France - try Chantal Guiraud at http://mediterraneangardensociety.org/seedlist.htm… Andrew San Diego Hi everyone, I'm new to the pbs but looking forward to learning lots about irises. In France, where I live, it seems very difficult (almost impossible ) to get hold of Pacific coast iris. Does anyone know of anywhere I can get some? Michelle Pierce
