- One good one is The Iris Pond, 7311 Churchill Rd., McLean, VA 22101.
- This is Clarence Mahan's garden, and he'll send you his complete list
- including some Siberian, Japanese, and bearded varieties for $1.00.

- He also has a bitone purple mutant of it named Elsie Crouch Diltz
- that makes a good companion.
