Hi Adam,
 
TAIS did not have a show this year, because we held the REGION 15 TREK this year. It turned out wonderful! There were people who came out as far as OKLAHOMA. There was 2 judges training sessions, A tour to 4 nice-sized iris display gardens (One was really quite large) of recently introduced cultivars and seedlings. The event concluded with a banquet and a guest speaker - Hugh Stout. He's a hybridizer for both irises and daylilies).
 
I did exhibit a few of seedlings and a couple of my more recent introductions.  More than half had already stopped blooming before the Trek occurred.  As for awards - there was a tie between my 'Birthday Magic' (2009) and Cheryl Deaton's 'Renegade Lady' (2009) for the Best in Region Hyrdridizer Award............for "the best introduced cultivar". (This award is called the Herb Holk award.)  Enclosed is BIRTHDAY MAGIC.

Hi everyone, namely Brock and Margie.


THANKS so much for your suggestions.  I have seen GYPSY ROMANCE in a friend's garden.  It is quite a memorable iris, but I never remembered seeing the branching on it that my bro-in-law's stalk had.

On the other hand, I personally have ROSETTE WINE.  Funny I admit that now, I know, but the truth would be that it's only bloomed once in the last decade.  (Wow, that sounds like a long time. {!})  

SOOOO, thanks to Bob Pries and the MANY people who put together the iris wiki and Dave's Garden, as well as the invaluable Iris Register, I think the best swing for me would be to guess that the iris is Rosette Wine.  

Of course, as every discerning irisarian should do, I will send a rhizome of my Rosette Wine to Beau-Jon, so he can grow it near his "unknown" and see if it blooms identical to what he currently has growing in his garden.  

I just can't believe those 9 or 10 buds on that stalk of his ..... and the BRANCHING.  Man!  I'm trying to get that in my seedlings!  Gonna have to baby along my RW now .... 

:-)

Brock, I really missed having a chat with you, too!  Judging an iris show is more work that I thought.  I was really in the "zone" and before I knew it, but bus left and you guys were gone!   Thankfully, we had a GREAT turnout of public to the show, as well, and I got to associate more with people rather than the flowers. ;-)  

Margie, how was your show this year?  Did you exhibit?  Was it at the mall?

Adam~
