‘Beneath My Wings’

A reminder that all AIS members are eligible to vote for up to 25 irises in the annual TB Symposium voting.  The list of eligible irises was included in the Spring issue of the Irises Bulletin.  Your votes, either the ballot or your list, should reach our RVP by September 1st.  Kelly’s new email is gardens@kellydnorris.com and his updated address is in the Summer issue.

There is at least one iris in the list by a Region 21 hybridizer;  LeRoy Meininger has ‘Beneath My Wings’.  Please let me know if there are any others so we can add them to our website.

Every year the American Iris Society members vote for the 100 Most Popular Tall Bearded Irises.  This years voting is now underway with 600 Tall Bearded irises on the ballot for you to chose your favorite 25 (or fewer).  These irises were selected from the following:

The 100 top varieties in last year’s Symposium
The tall bearded irises eligible for 2013 Dykes Medal
The tall bearded irises eligible for 2013 Wister Medal
The tall bearded irises eligible for 2013 Awards of Merit
