many thanks for correct spelling , David ! Now I know while I haven`t found a lot of information, only a Japanese description.....

I can not explain why the flowers show no variation, I´m not sure- believe the seeds come from Fritz Kummert.
Is this plant not more like Iris sibirica? branched stems, taller than the leaves, brown bract, only the blade is round more like Iris sanguinia. The Kew list also says that Iris nertschinska is a synonom of Iris sanguinia. (Brian Mathew was/ is a Kew botanist though.)
There is a blue form, much like some of the early diploid sibirica cultivars, which I found on flicker by googling the name but it is not identical. My plants are all white with some variation in the colour on the hafts, and very like Gerhards. I think that they were sown from exchange seed as I sibirica

I.setosa arctica

An Alaskan dwarf form. The leaves reach 8cm maximum, and the tallest flower is only 18cm high.
Here's one of my seedlings flowering Ron.

If anyone has a spare plant at the right time of year I'd be very happy to refund postage and package costs and if anyone has spare seed I'd be happy for some of that too.

I. tectorum

Grown from seed, first year flowering. I managed three plants from five seeds given, which I'm pretty pleased with. ;D

Very nice Ron, I've tried it twice from Exchange seed and it's turned out to be pseudacorus both times.
