Nothing would please me more that a quality Siberian or Median winning
the Dykes. Jewelled Crown is quality in my garden, and every other
garden in my area that I have shared it with. As long as the Siberian
doesn't look like a body builder on drugs. Siberians should still have a
dainty or delicate quality about it. Of course there are some great
Japanese Irises, but they are so late, the ballots have already been
counted when they bloom. Well, it will be interesting.
BTW - if so many Judges are against the Space-age iris, how did THORNBIRD
win the Wister anyway.....ummmmmm.....it gets more interesting everyday.
