Hi Maureen!

No beardless iris has ever won the American Dykes Medal. ELMOHR (DM, 45)
was considered an Arilbred at the time it received the Dykes, though it may
not be defined as such by current standards. The BB, BROWN LASSO (DM, 81)
is the only other non-TB to have won the American Dykes Medal.
There have been Beardless winners of the British Dykes Medal, including
Marjorie Brummit's SIBs, CAMBRIDGE (71) and ANNIVERSARY (79), and her PCI,
NO NAME (76). Also, several LAs have been awarded the Australasian Dykes.
