Libby Cross had Butterfly Wings in her commercial listing three or four
years ago. I don't think she is still doing commercial sales, however, she
might have it tucked away somewhere. She can be reached at:

                Cross Patch Gardens
                8907 Potts Creek Rd.
                Covington, VA 24426
                Tel: 540-747-2123

>From a registration standpoint BF has a checkered past. I do not find any
indication of introduction date, yet it has been in commerce since the late
40s. The '76 Aril checklist ommited it. It is one of the few C.G.W.s with a
listed pedigree. I seem to remember some question concerning the pedigree,
(Theme x Sacramento) X Incognito, selfed.
