John,

I hope you saw a doctor about it.  

Sorry, I couldn't resist.  It sounds so much like some sort of communicable disease.

The AGS lists goniocarpa seed this year, and I didn't notice.

I've taken notes on a number of Iris species shown in that link that I must be on the lookout for, very nice...(and thank goodness for Google toolbar translation).

By the way, I did post a number of photos of chinese Iris, some of which are covered in the link above, to the thread:

I'm hoping that even more of these little Iris beauties become availbale, as they are such good garden plants.
