If I am not mistaken, any registered Iris is eligible for show awards.
To win AIS awards, I once heard that the Iris has to have been registered
by a US Resident. Is that true.
Since FLIGHT OF BUTTERFLIES was registered properly, and is available
in commerce from sources other than White Flower Farm, and has been used in
hybridizing, it is basically as good as if it were formally introduced.
I have an old TB Iris called WALMAC YELLOW. It was registered in
1953, but never was introduced. I and others have taken blue ribbons with
it. I was once told that the fact that it is in the Checklists is good
enough. If there is an official rule to the contrary, please let me know.
