Wow! My Iris cyclogossa are beautiful
when I can get them to bloom, they are never any where near that
spectacular!

Re: SIGNA Program
Just as an FYI for all you
SIGNA-ites and species folks…
The
page about the Saturday Symposium (May
27) is due to go live any day now on our
website (ais2017.wordpress.com), but I
wanted to get this to you in advance in
case you wanted to promote through your
lists, etc. I have attached two
promotional photos from Tony Hall. His
program description is below:
9:10
a.m. The Juno Iris Species
by Tony Hall, Royal Botanic Garden, Kew
About: Tony
Hall came to horticulture relatively
late in life after an early career in
music was cut short. While still in his
3rd year as a student at
Royal Botanic Garden Kew (RBG Kew), he
was appointed Manager of the Alpine and
Bulb Unit where he, along with Brian
Halliwell, built up the collections of
natural source material that made the
Unit renowned. He also transformed the
Woodland Garden at the base of
Cumberland Mound into a plantsman’s
paradise of shade-loving species. He
oversaw the landscaping, development and
displays of Kew’s world-famous pyramidal
Alpine House, sadly demolished in 2004.
He has contributed to Curtis’s
Botanical Magazine, The Alpine
Garden Society (AGS) Bulletin and the
British Iris Society (BIS) Yearbook and
Species Group Newsletter, among others,
and has lectured around the world. He
was awarded Kew’s Gold Medal in 1979,
the Foster Memorial Plaque by the BIS in
1998 and the Lyttel Trophy by the AGS in
2000. He is an Honorary Associate of the
Royal Horticultural Society and was made
an Honorary Research Associate at RBG
Kew on his retirement just over 12 years
ago (the only member of Kew’s
horticultural staff ever to receive an
Associateship). He has described several
new iris species in the last few years
and is working towards a complete
monograph of the juno irises in
conjunction with Arnis Seisums of
Latvia.
We’re
looking forward to May already!

The
truth is that
we weren’t
sure who would
be prez. I
was supposed
to be rotated
out of the
job, but it
was unclear
whether we had
a
replacement.
I only found
out I wouldn’t
be needed
about a week
ago.

Re: SIGNA

Thank
you for
responding
back with the
information.
I was not
aware you were
not the
president any
longer. The
SIGNA website
still has you
listed as the
president.
I
will await a
response from
Will Plotner.
