Hi Bob,Yes, I recognize your name over many years.  Iris dichotoma seeds around in my garden and I will have plenty of excess seed I can send you.  Flower color is pretty uniformly moderate purple, but I usually have a couple that tend toward a bluer tone. Happy to answer an questions you might have. Regarding Iris x norissii, I grew them 20 years ago from seed from Thompson & Morgan.  I though I had stumbled on something 'great" when one turned out to be a dwarf, but later on the internet, discovered it wasn't that unusual. Rick Rodichjust west of Minneapolis, Minnesota

 I am long time off and on member of PBS. I also created the Iris
Encyclopedia for the American Iris Society. Note there are many
recommendations for people to visit PBS in the wiki.
> I am currently trying to study and hybridize the Iris x norrissii group.
I am having a hard time finding Iris dichotoma and I am also trying to
interview those who have grown it. It appears it is a short lived
perennial. I have no plants of I dichotoma now. I would love to find seed.
There are so many questions that beg answers.
> Thanks for any help you may be able to give.
