Well...maybe it doesn't grow well other places, either!  This symposium is 
"favorites"....and there can be lots of reasons for an iris to be a 
"favorite"--not necessarily including garden-worthiness.  The great majority 
of what I select WILL be proven performers in my area....but there always 
seems to be at least one check mark that sneaks out of the end of the pen 
because the iris was STUNNING at the national....or it is a completely unique 
color combo...or something....you get the idea.

Now my JUDGES BALLOT is different.  That is where the garden-worthiness MUST 
take precedence.  I think a published compilation of regional Judges ballot 
results is potentially very valuable...and NO...I'm NOT volunteering!
