Many of the Blyth iris are very hard to find in the US. Does anyone know a good source? I am looking for Samba Queen, for one.
Thank you!

Mid-America has Blyth's newer ones, and Iris Sisters carries many of his.

Blue J Iris has Samba Queen. It was the only place I could find that sells it. Here's the link https://www.bluejiris.com It seems to be already sold out for the season. They open for sales in January so jump on it next year.

Yes, some. I am looking for some of the older ones. I've thought about asking MA directly about where/how to find; I'll be down there later this month for a show, maybe I can pick some brains then.

I did order Samba Queen from Blue J, I think I'm the one that sold it out, lol. Then I read some info on them that they aren't always the best...(I've not ordered from them before) so now I just hope I get something that is viable and id'd correctly.

List the ones you're looking for, I have several of Blyths older models.
Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason.

Oh gosh... I started out looking for Samba Queen. That's #1 on my list. Then I stumbled on some others and ordered them.
I haven't gone thru Wiki Iris yet to search all of his... that's a rather enormous list! I will get back to you with some others.
Thank you!

Okay, I cry uncle. I think it would be easier for you to tell me what you have, and I can decide which ones interest me, rather than going thru the entire list via Wiki Iris.
