BRIEF results--these 3 and a half hour (one way) jaunts are getting to be a
bit much in one day...
The Capital-Hudson Area of the Empire State Iris Society held a show today
in Albany, NY, which I was privileged to help judge. It was supposed to be
largely a median show, but there were no SDBs; mostly other medians and
Siberians, with quite a few historics and a handful of TBs. The screwball
weather we have had affected the quality of the specimens as well as the
assortment of types available! It's just been a tough year.
Best Specimen was I. pseudacorus, exhibited by Linda Montanero. !st
Runner-Up was the historic Loreley, shown by Bob Keup. 2nd Runner-Up went
to Carolyn Rose (MTB), also shown by Bob Keup. And Carolyn Rose also took
the local Magdalen Award for Best Median. A very nice effort by everyone
involved! Hearty congratulations on all your good work, Cap-Hudson folks!
Yawn--off to the sack--a 6-hr. (horse) ride scheduled for tomorrow! Summer
is just TOO short around here.
