Never fear,
@Polymerous
I have Star Appeal. I'm not sure it is big enough to take a piece off this year, but next year I'm sure it will be. I will take a look and let you know. All the iris places are closed for the season but you can plant in Cali no problem. Stay tuned!

I had it, but lost it before it ever bloomed. Now I'm trying to restrain myself from ordering it (when I should be out digging/dividing).
