Re: SHOW: Sun. 13

Betty:
 
Sorry for the late response.  Convention got in the way.  Plus we  had our 
local iris tour last weekend.  I had planned to attend the Aril  Trek this week 
too. 
 
This year's Best of Show was Pure As Gold, a 1993 reblooming TB  by Maryott.  
It has rebloomed the past 4 years in October.  It may be  my favorite 
rebloomer.
 
Last years Best of Show was Deja Blue, a 2001 reblooming TB by Lauer.   I 
have had it for 2 years and it has not rebloomed.  However, it under a  deciduous 
tree and is probably too heavily shaded in the Fall to rebloom.   I plan to 
move it where it can get more sun.
 
I will post photos on the photo group chat list when I am approved for  
membership!  I have never seen photos on this chat list so I assume they  are 
stripped off.
 
Has anyone else won Best in Show with rebloomers?  I have had  discussions 
with other club members who won't grow rebloomers because "they  are not as 
nice" as oncers.  However, they will admit that Pure As Gold is  an exception.  I 
did enjoy Sutton's talk at the convention.  I hope he  continues to hybridize 
for rebloomers.

Scarlett, that is great!? Could you share names of the irises that won  Best 
in Show?? Also, pictures if you have them?? It's been a long time between  
bloom seasons here!? 


I won Best in Show last year and this year  with rebloomers.  The show  was 
early (for us) last year and  this year.

I won  Best in Show last year and this year with rebloomers.  The show  was  
early (for us) last year and this year.  However, this year there  was  
enough 
cold weather that it hurt the show.    Too  bad.  We  had lots of newbies 
joined 
in the last  year.   Two meetings had  presentations on grooming.  It  would 
have been nice if the newbies  had a chance to show.  The  good thing was 
that 
there was lots of  medians shown at the show. I  can't remember if I showed 
rebloomers two years ago  when the show  was two weeks later.

Scarett,  

Did you take rebloomers to the show last  year, or were they just early  
bloomers??
