IMHO, "no winner" would be preferable to some of the recent winners we've had. These specimens give the general public the wrong impression about irises because they are publicized as the "best" in the country. Who knows how many people buy them, thinking they are hardy and wonderful everywhere, and are totally turned off when they don't even live, much less bloom and increase.

I don't know. I may have replaced it once or even twice, but it
never made it into bloom in my garden.
Guess it grows somewhere like KILT LILT does and even
reblooms!
We've had a Dykes' every year now for some years without a
percentage of votes qualification figured into the counting. Maybe,
we could require it to have won a certain percentage of the regions,
but we'd probably go back to having 'years of no winners.'
