Hello Stewart
It was me that made the request

Can you furnish the the name and number of said nursery

Slight problem - I didn't mention any nursery.

You can find plenty of information on Iris chrysographes on the web if
you want to compare it with the plants you saw. (It's not immediately
clear whether it's bulbous, tuberous, rhizomatous, or what - the T&M
catalog described it as a bulb, whereas WikiPedia lists it among a group
of non-bulbous Irises.)

For suppliers either refer ti PlantFinder
(http://www.rhs.org.uk/plantfinder) or google Iris chrysographes
site:uk.

Also could you ask your freind whether these, risolm or bulb

Someone recently mentioned the observation of feral black irises growing
in the southwest. I mentioned this to the local Iris breeder when I met
him on the allotment site this morning, and his immediate reaction was
that they would be Iris chrysographes Black Form.

I also noticed black water iris (Louisiana iris) for sale in a local
garden centre a few days back. Said Iris breeder says that these don't
persist in Britain.
