The annual C&P Iris Society Fall Show was successfully held at Beltsville, MD
today (Sat), and winner of Best Specimen iris was WAVES OF GRAIN (Byers 94),
exhibited by Ginny Spoon of Cross Junctions, VA. Best Seedling was a really
different pink with raspberry highlights in the falls bred by Don Spoon.
There were ten exhibitors and more than 50 entries...lots of seedlings, too.
