BUTTER AND SUGAR (McEwen, 77) won the Morgan Award in 1981 when that was
the highest AIS award for Siberian Irises. Subsequent revision of the
awards system resulted in the creation of the Morgan-Wood Medal, which B&S
won in 1986, so in that sense it has won the highest AIS award (for
Siberians) twice.
