What I meant was, how many total votes from each region for which iris, not
which individuals voted for an iris.

So you are also sticking mostly to iris from the '80s.  Are all the judges
rich people?  If hardly anybody actually grows new introductions, how in the

doing its best?  Or at a convention?  This sounds a little nuts.
