What! This iris is selling for ONLY $55.00! When Lloyd Zurbrigg introduced
IMMORTALITY he charged $100.00. And I bought it for that price and have
never regretted it. I would buy MAYTAG RED if the price were higher, but I
don't have space to be planting a lot of cheap irises. After all, you might
be a redneck irisarian if you plant cheap irises along the path to your
still. Clarence Mahan in northern Virginia
