Re: Reminder - AIS Convention 2001

Because there have been several inquiries in regard to the talk on TBs at the 
National Convention,  I'm going to try to answer the questions, altho I am in 
no way on the official committee - I just happen to know that TBIS has no 
input at this convention, by their choice, or rather their officers' choice, 
not to have TBIS become a section of AIS.  The AIS National Conventions have 
always been held at the calculated time of  maximum bloom for TBs, with the 
hope that weather would be kind and some other irises would be 
accommodating..  This coonvention has been so arranged, with gardens in 
different  USDA zones (2 different States even!)  There have always been TB 
talks -- (the RIS, especially - a plug!)  This year there will be a talk 
about TBs by someone special (I haven't heard who the speaker is, however)  
and there is also a judges training on TBs, also by someone special --- these 
items are just part of  AIS'  service to members and each region holding the 
convention decides what types get the emphasis at that particular meeting!  
Now are you even more confused?  Come and find out for yourselves what the 
answer is -- you won't be disappointed, there is even an iris show - come 
with your entries!!  Hope to see everyone there, and bring good weather, good 
spirits, and good humor with you!!  Hope to see you!      Fondly, Rosalie nr 
Baltimore, USA   zone 7, still under very cold temps with possible snow this 
weekend.  - but Spring will come, it always does, and in Baltimore it lasts 
about 3 days and then turns into summer!  ryfigge@aol.com
