WANTED: Historic Iris - 1966 or Older

9 years ago

I am starting a historic iris collection and am looking for anybody with a few extra irises. I have (what I think are) "Iris Germanica" and "I Do" irises to trade. Or check out my small trade list for other plants.

I also have a yellow iris and a light purple iris, but not enough to trade yet.

Here is a picture of the Iris Germanica...

Sort by:Oldest
