Marianne, thanks for your reply. But I'm a bit confused. Remember that I am new to all this stuff. How do you know that my iris is not the wild one that you are looking for? It was growing "in the wild" and I'm sure had been there for many years. I'm not meaning to argue with you, but I'm trying to understand. Also found another iris in mix. Of the 200 or so that i rescued, only about 5 were this type. Would I be correct to assume that the seeds that I got from these irises may be hybrids of this one and the other one? Can you give me advice on getting the seeds to sprout. I read that it can take 2 to 3 years.

The Species Iris Group of North America has a round robin exchange. You may want to try there. You can also go to their Facebook page and ask where the best place to purchase might be. Renee Here is a link that might be useful: SIGNA exchange

GA tends to darken over the season ... MY GUESS .... TCer is making GAs ... and a certain per cent come out BA ... a reversion .. and they grow them on.. and sell them wholesale ... but just a guess ... you should probably remove the GA from the blues.. or it might disappear during dormancy ... ken
