The Siberian Iris BUTTER AND SUGAR was slighted. It is also a multi-
medal winner from the AIS - in 1981, it received the Morgan Award
which was the highest award a SI could receive - akin to the Wistar
for TB. In 1986, it also was named the winner of the Morgan-Wood
Medal which was a replacement for the Morgan Award.
You can see this `multi-medal winner' on the cork board...
Enjoying peak JI bloom,
