Chris comments:
I guess technically it depends on whether the award is given to the
flower(iris) or the person(hybridizer). I'm not sure of what the AIS
policy is in this area. Logically, I think that the award is for the
iris as this is the item which has been judged by AIS judges to be
particularly deserving of this recognition.
