Juno & reticulate iris

[Pennine Wanderer]

I am interested in growing the smaller juno & reticulate iris.  Some of the ones that I see on the forum that take my fancy, eg Iris zagrica, iris orange glow, & iris  nicolai, to name a few are not available in the bulb catalogues that I have.  Can anyone please suggest where the more unusual ones may be purchased.
Thanks, Dave.

Hi Dave,

A good place to start would be the bulb catalogues of Janis Ruksans and Jan Jilek.

Thanks for the reply and links.

Dave, if you cannot get I. zagrica from Janis or Jan, try Bob & Rannveig Wallis (Buried Treasure).  They grew it from Jim Archibald seeds.

Kurt Vickery also released some I zagrica, and Norman Stevens was selling it. Leonid Bondarenko also sells a number of small junos and reticulate Iris.

I have been very pleased with Augis Bulbs.   Not as extensive a selection, but excellent bulbs and plants.

I have had two orders from Augis and definitely agree with Arthur, very good plants and generous too.
by the way Arthur; your retics are flowering nicely at the moment. If there are any still out, I shall bring them to the south wales show or the Frit group.

I've never been less than very pleased with anything I've bought from Augis.

Many thanks for all the replies.
