Iris in Kansas City MO

Perhaps, I believe that parts of England can have rainfall as low as 10
inches per year in a dry year.
The rainfall in the British Isles is very unpredictable, and very varied,
-as I often try to explain.
Sometimes I send seed of some unguicularis to the British Iris Society
seed exchange, -Walter Butt (self pollinated) has been among them a few
times.
As I have missed the deadline for the BIS seed exchange this year, I may
send some to the PBS if I managed to save any...and can find them.

Iris unguicularis is starting to flower here in Portland, Oregon as
well, though the rain is spoiling the blooms.

Mary Barnard is about the toughest variant I have grown, Walter Butt is
difficult to establish.
I don't have 'Mary Barnard' but would like to get it. I've had
'Walter Butt' for about 15 years and find it very easy to grow here.
