| I got 500 large seeds that I think are the flag type on ebay. I thought I would try sinking a few in a vase on a sunny window and see if they would sprout for me.
They all floated. I know all about the float test but I also know there are exceptions. Is some types of iris an exception? |

| Iris pseudacorus seeds float naturally because they are distributed by water. Is that the species you mean by 'flag type'? |
Here is a link that might be useful: Growing yellow flag seeds.

| Yes I think that is what I meant. I looked it up on yahoo and that is what I call the flag type. The seeds were misidenfied in an ebay auction as Bearded Iris. I can't complain though. I bought 50 for two dollars or soemthing and she sent me 500! |
