Don't forget that AIS Conventions are primarily for tall bearded irises, with
a few BB, MTB and sometimes beardless in evidence. Those of us who grow
mostly early blooming dwarf and median irises cannot have them seen at
conventions, therefore don't bother to send them. (However, we do have four
Siberian seedlings as guests at the Memphis convention.) Late blooming
Japanese irises face the same situation, which is why they frequently have
their own conventions. It is very difficult to get judges to our gardens,
even when we offer to pick them up and bring them to see the irises. That is
a failure on the part of judges to perform their duties. If they can go to
the conventions, surely they can go twenty or thirty miles to local
hybridizers' gardens.
