I have to agree with these sentiments. These thoughts and those brought up
by Ellen's post regarding questions/jottings are the reason my check goes to
TBIS rather than AIS. I like the TBIS criteria and purpose statement for the
America's Choice Iris of the Year ballot. No offense to anyone but my iris
interest and first love is Tall Bearded, especially Tall Bearded in the home
garden. My most humble two cents!
