Just been repotting this and have lots of small bulbils (up to about 7 mm height sort of size) that I can't really accommodate - anyone want any?

I would love some but can't import bulbs alas. But DON'T be tempted to throw them out. Let someone have them. This species is now exceptionally rare. It would be criminal to destroy them. I hope some UK iris growers will take up your offer.

Found European homes for them now - thanks.

Hi Alex
Great to have some of them if possible. What do you want in exchange ? I have perhaps. Thousand thanks

I'm sorry, but I've sent them all off now. I can perhaps send you a bigger bulb next year, though?

I knew I'd miss something by going to Spain :(

David,
Hopefully there'll be something I can send you next Summer if you're still interested.

Any photos Alex?

I posted some earlier in the year, don't remember which thread though. Here's a recap.

Oh yes I remember that one. Thanks

I'm looking for Iris iberica rhizomes.

Anthony,
Marcus Harvey from Hillview Rare Bulbs in Tasmania has it on his catalogue periodically. That is Iris iberica ssp elegantissima at least. Is that what you're after? It would need to change hemispheres, but if you can't find it anywhere else there is him at least. He usually sends out his catalogue just before Christmas, and does sell overseas. I can provide contact details if you (or anyone else) wants them.

Anthony, depending for which Iris iberica you ar looking for there are also different supplier on the northen hemisphere (what would make it easier for you ;))
Iris iberica ssp. iberica hardly can be found in trade, Iris iberica ssp. lycotis is offered sometimes by Janis, Pc and Floralpin.
The most common and perhaps easiest in cultivation in northern climates might be Iris iberica ssp. elegantissima - which is offered for example here: http://www.floralpin.de/ueberuns/53964097580eb6104/539640975c1241233/index.html (http://www.floralpin.de/ueberuns/53964097580eb6104/539640975c1241233/index.html)

It's worth getting Marcus' catalogue for Susan Jarrick's beautiful paintings, quite apart from the bulbs/plants. I only get the summer bulb list and any seed list he produces but they always give me a great deal of pleasure - and new plants. :)

Thanks Rob. 8) That was easy.... I said I'd provide contact details and they appeared overnight as if by magic!! ;D ;D
-
I was up early.
-
Is 3am "early" or "late"? I can never decide!! ::) I hope all is well!
Thanks again for posting the info. 8)
-
Thanks guys. Plenty of choice there. I notice that Janis has it too. :D

Paul, 3am is early, as a date once told me when I said I needed to get home. Up to midnight is early and after that it's early in the morning. So always early. ;D
