Chris comments:
Unfortunately I don't think that BUMBLEBEE DEELITE is eligible for the
Dykes Medal voting anymore. It has been eligible for the past three
years 94-95-96 (and been the runner up each time!) but I believe that
iris only are in the Dykes Medal voting pool for three years maximum. So
it has used up all its chances...
I'm finally getting around to growing this iris this year. Looking
forward to it and hope it is still okay under all our snow.
Have a nice day.
