Let's hope you didn't!
Arnold, I am not trying to be catty with the above remark. But,
the Dykes' Medal and other awards on the ballot are GARDEN awards and
are not SHOW awards. This is hard for many people to understand,
and, I am sure, hard to enforce, but a judge should vote awards only
for irises he has seen growing in a GARDEN or he has personally
bloomed for two years. Seeing something win in a show should have no
bearing on a judge's ballot vote. SHOW awards are for Best
Specimen, Exhibition Certificate, Sweepstakes, Runner-up and ribbon
and rosette awards and these are for individual shows and do not
cover the AIS membership-at-large. SHOW awards are awarded by the
vote of the jury panel at that individual show. The GARDEN awards
are voted on by secret ballot by the active judges in AIS. We have
just seen a partial list of the GARDEN awards.
