Contact Jim Browne at the Memphis Botanic Garden. They get
requests for these all of the time. Occasionaly, there is an auction
at Graceland, and the TB EP goes for $500 to $1,000 a rhizome! I
don't know if they grow these on B G grounds, but there is one
member of MAIS I know, for sure, who perpetuates them for such
sales/auctions at the mansion. She had EP in the show on April
30 and had numerous requests for it. I never saw it so well grown.

Don't forget Mr. Hubert Neubert from Knoxville! Coutrier may
still have some of Neubert's things.
And, 'going with the territory,' I saw a 'drinks' bed up there once.
BOURBON, BRANDY, TEQUILA SUNRISE, SPIKED PUNCH,
and several others. I don't know if it is possible to use Jack
Daniels or Jim Beam as iris names though. But, who would buy an
iris called 'Old Crow?'
Shet yo' mouf!
