Vince, you are right about this. Several years ago CONJURATION was
being considered for QOS in one of the several Memphis shows. The
terminal was missing a horn, and I voted against it for that reason.
It seemed to make no difference with the other judges, and the honor
was bestowed upon the hornless horned iris. These things need to be
written down somewhere, or if they already are, we need to know the
page number.
When you speak to Joan, tell her CANARY DELIGHT is absolutely
fantastic and would have gotten QOS if our show had been held on
Wednesday. With three open, it was too big to get into the fridge
and save it for tomorrow.
