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.
V. sez:
WOW!!!! $1000 bucks a rhizome, just because of the
name!!!
By the way, next year I will be introducing DARTH MAUL
and HOUND DOG for $1000 each. Place your orders early!!!

Vince Lewonski, not a hybridizer, but definitely an
opportunist...
