Anner,
Just throwing this out as a FYI. Superstition Iris Gardens celebrated
it's 10th aniversary last year and as a 10th aniversary special we
listed Thornbird for $0.96. (Since it was 1996). Needless to say we
sold many, many Thornbirds. So it is getting great distribution both
here and around the country.
