Sean O'Hara asked these questions in an Email to me but I decided others
might be interested in the answers so I am responding via the list. Brian

One nursery that carries this iris (catalogue $1.00) is Miller's Manor
Gardens, 3167 E. U.S. 224, Ossian, IN 46777. Lynda Miller who owns this
nursery is a Director of the AIS, and her catalogue is one of the most
extensive for irises, daylilies and hostas. Clarence Mahan in VA
