The Ballot is voted by judges based on iris they have seen growing in gardens
for at least 2 years. You need to have seen it often enough to determine what/how
it does in a variety of conditions.
The Symposium is voted on by every member of the AIS and is determined by
what you like. This makes it more of a popularity contest but a popular iris should
be one that does well (why else why you like it?). So, this should be a good list of
garden iris for a person to choose from, especially if they went by the results in
their region.
