This goes back to the days when men were men and the sheep were nervous. As whorehouses go this was upscale, where servicing cost $2, which is the equivalent of about $500 today. Our guide was very knowledgeable and after her basic information she let us wander around and see the place for ourselves. A fascinating learning experience.

The International Waterlily Collection

The International Waterlily Collection has been designated by the International Waterlily & Water Gardening Society as the premiere collection of waterlilies in existence. This collection is the life work of one man with the mind of a scientist, the heart of a poet and the soul that embodies preserving waterlily heritage for the generations to come. His name is Ken Landon. Ken is only able to display about 1/2 of 1% of the collection each year so there is always something new and wondrous to see.
