This might be a good time to remind people that there is a big difference  in 
'show' irises and 'garden' irises.  Although we enjoy the shows and they  are 
great for exposing the public to the newest and supposed best cultivars, AIS  
awards are not based on show stalks.  
 
The awards (H. M., A.M., Wister, etc.,) are based only on garden  performance 
and require garden visits by judges.  Many garden visits by  many judges.  
 
Criteria for show iris and garden irises are different.
