Hi Ian!
How is life treating you? McClure and Zimmerman offers I. cycloglossa.

Subject: [pbs] source of Iris cycloglossa in N. America?
Ian Efford asks if anyone knows of a source of Iris cycloglossa seed or bulbs. We have seen the listing from rareplants.co.uk found on the PBS Sources page but are hoping for a source that does not require import.
If you know of a source please reply to efford@shaw.ca as well as the list.
Additionally, Ian writes:
"As to the plant, it is very rare in nature [from around Herat in
Afghanistan] and not grown by many people. I did get seed once but the
seedling died. The source has gone out of business and I only know of two
growers in N.Am. I have approached one and not had a reply and the other
said that I should ask him again in September."
