Why are some Iris so expensive?

A new Iris offered to the public for the first time is called a New Introduction. New introductions are priced at $65.00 or more the first year as there is a limited supply of these exclusive cultivars. In successive years, there are more plants available so the price goes down. The price of an Iris is based on supply and demand.
