Re: I. milesii source? Maybe ??

I have one I. milesii seedling from 09CR040 (Signa seed) in the basement. One seed germinated spring 2010. I'm hoping there will be additional germinating next spring. Often that does occur. If it does, I'll share one with you.
 
By the way. I had this seedling growing on the back porch all summer where it reached 3-4" in height. I forgot to bring it inside until the other night when the temperature was well down in the teens. It has stayed totally evergreen with no sign of dormancy. Even Pseudacorus and other hardy seedlings have gone dormant but not the milesii - "green as grass". It has not been exposed to dessicating winds since it was inside the enclosed porch, but it has tolerated several weeks of night temperatures below freezing. Several nights have gone below 20 degrees F.
 
The seedling reminds me of I. tektorum in its seedling stage, which is not all that surprising.

Does anyone know where I might purchase affordable starts of I. milesii?
