All orders to Dr. Berkutenko please. Other Iridaceae Seed Exchange Information Please enroll me as a member of The Species Iris Group of North America. The Seed Exchange is an amazing effort in cooperation. Each year there are between sixty and eighty donors and five hundred to seven hundred donations. The orders are processed on a first ordered first served basis and many people go to great lengths to send in their orders immediately to get as many of their first choices as possible.
Many offerings are rare and unusual, and often in very short supply.
Two-thirds of the three hundred or so orders are received by the seed Chairman in the first two weeks after the list goes out. Volunteers gather to package the seed, fill orders, and put them in the mail. The first seed orders are shipped out around January 10. You may request as many packets of seed as you want, but only one packet of any one listing. The items you request are sold out.
