That's my guess too. But it doesn't grow to Dykes quality here. Then
again, it grows lots better than Spirit World. Maybe it's time for a
non-TB...

My guess is Fancy Woman will win it.

both much more consistent growers in this part of the world. As judges, we
are supposed to vote for what we consider to be the best iris, not just the
best iris that also happens to be a TB. The British Dykes has gone to
non-TBs several times.
