I wish I could find some giganticarulea. I'd love to have an endemic in my yard, next to my pond.

"Buy them..." Great idea. But every nursery I talk to refuses to carry native species. So where are we supposed to buy them from?

[@caitlinbussey8605]

Correct; you need to go to someone who deals in only natives. I’m in Acadiana and Acadiana Native Plant Project sells them. If you’re not anywhere near here, I recommend contacting Louisiana Native Plant Society for growers in your region.

Ditch.

​@@j.b.4340 I bought them on dutch-bulbs.com

Beardless irises -- apogon Louisiana irises have signals not beards.

[@Mickiemccomic]

I have found some irises that are white and have a beard, but they have white at the bottom 😳

[@Mickiemccomic]

They also have flat leaves.
