That's a real beauty, Zuzu! But unfortunately I can't grow them here -- too hot and dry. Joe Ghio puts out a catalog every January or February and lists his new PCI introductions there for the price I noted above. But one thing he's a stickler about is that you have to purchase his catalog the first time -- $3.00. And once you purchase from him you automatically get the catalog each year after that. He doesn't have the PCI pictures there, but he has color pictures of all his new TB introductions -- fabulous! He posts pictures of his new PCI's by year, as well as the TB's, on the Monterey Bay Iris Society (MBIS) website. And actually you can view all of his other introductions through the link I posted above. I'll edit in his email address if you're interested in getting his catalog.
Jo Ann, PCN's are Pacific Coast Native irises that I guess are unique to the Pacific Coast and won't grow in hot, dry climates. And I've seen them listed as PCI's (Pacific Coast Introductions, I guess), PCH's as Zuzu referred to them above, and Pacificas. Aren't they gorgeous? Check out the link I posted for Zuzu to see Joe Ghio's PCI's by year, and I believe other hybridizers are also doing crosses. Does Dee do any?
Edit: If anyone is interested in Joe Ghio's catalog, here is his email address:

And here is the link for the MBIS October Newsletter, which has pictures of one of his 2012 PCI introductions plus a few others:
