Re: Space Dragon pic

I believe I originally got mine from Bluebird Haven, a great
source for historics (especially Austin cultivars, if you're
interested in historic space agers). You can get their contact
info from http://www.bluebirdhavenirisgarden.com
If anyone's going to be hanging around California after the
national convention, I highly recommend a visit to their garden.

I will probably have a spare division or two of Space Dragon this summer
if all else fails :-)
