Polly I dont think so but I can tell you after going through Oregon and California gardens this spring they just dont have the same challenges that the rest of us in different climates do for instance I spent 4 days in Salem area and walked 200 acres of fields looking at plants and I did not notice one bug on any plant anywhere there in any of the 3 major gardens there, now Im sure they have them but nothing that attacks Iris like we do here I am fighting Leaf Hoppers and Aphids right now and during bloom time as I was trying to make crosses the bugs were having a hay day with the pollen on a lot of the stuff I wanted to use I looked closely at plants there to see if they had the same issues and there was nothing like what I go through and thats why they do so good in those areas they just have perfect growing conditions and a lot longer growing period without the diseases that we encounter Joes plants in his gardens were of very good quality huge bulbs and very well taken care of there were no weeds anywhere and I walked all his seedling beds there is nothing like his out there, his seedlings were my favorite of all the plants I saw this year maybe years ago he might of sent of seedlings to test but how can you control how people grow your plants In different climates.I think most will do well all over the country
