Dear Robins,
For those of you who might be interested, I am providing a partial
list of the winners of the Australasian Dykes Medal. I know that this
listing is incomplete because an article in the 1983 British Iris Society
Yearbook mentions a proposal to implement the award. By 1990, the Yearbook
tells which Iris was awarded the Australasian Dykes in 1989. Since I don't
have the 1984 to 1989 issues of the BIS Yearbooks, I am lacking the
information on this award prior to 1989. I also do not yet have the
information as to the 1996 winner.
The following are the Australasian Dykes winners from 1989 to 1995.
Cultivar Hybridizer Year
JOLIMONT (TB) J. O. Baldwin 1989
JAZZ BALLET (LA) J. Taylor 1990
PENCHANT (TB) R. Harding 1991
FIRST MOVEMENT (TB) G. Grosvenor 1992
DURAL WHITE BUTTERFLY (LA) J. Taylor
1993
EMMA RIPEKA (SIB) F. Love
1994*
TEMPTONE (TB) G. Grosvenor
1995
* Starting in 1994, the award alternates between Australia in odd numbered
years and New Zealand in even numbered years. The source of this
information in the British Iris Society Yearbooks.
