Re: SHOW:ISDShow

Walter,
    We too had our show this weekend.   It was pretty late for us, but we had
200
stalks displayed.   Violet Shimmer got a blue ribbon and, I believe, a section
award
but our Queen was from Australia.   It was SILENCIO, a 1995 LA from John
Taylor,
entered by Marie Caillet.   We had more LAs and Spurias than we have ever had
at a show.   People wrote down a lot of them to buy at our fall sale.

Thursday night was really unkind to iris growers in MS - tornadoes, wind,
hail; you
name it.  Yesterday, at show set-up, most North Mississippi Lakes Iris Society
members were gloomy as to the prospects of a good show.  But, the show must go
on, and it did.  Members of our small society brought in 182 stalks, most
show-
worthy with very little damage, surprisingly.

Yours truly had Best Specimen with his own creation of VIOLET SHIMMER! :-)
I also had the best seedling, described as a greyed lavender bi-tone with a
fiery red
beard.

Billie Lynn Jones won the AIS Silver Medal and Truman Scarborough won the
Bronze Medal.

It was tiring for some of the old folks like me, but it was a lot of fun,
too.
