Re: AIS: guessing the Wisters..

MERLOT is a Schreiner iris that really does well here.  I would add LENTEN 
PRAYER to the list, as it is a stellar performer.  Is it eligible for a Wister?

TOKATEE FALLS grows well, but it looks to me like somebody took  
scissors and cut off half of the falls.

SKYWALKER is another one of those light blues that doesn't like me.  The 
blooms were kinda bunched before it vanished after one bloom season.

Enid Lake, MS USA 7/8 (Who thinks MATT MCNAMES is the best iris that 
bloomed for him this year....what an iris.  Judges need to get busy and see 
this one before it loses eligibility....for an AM, I think  I may have to stuff the 
ballot box).
