SHOW: Results and Siberians (hurrah!)

 Yesterday the Wisconsin Iris Society had their late show and we had an 
 abundance of entries as usual.  We had IB, BB, MTB, SIB, TB, Dutch Iris, 
 Graminea, Pseudacorus, even an Arilbred.  Since we were past peak, good 
 grooming was the order of the day to produce winning stalks.
 
 Queen of Show:  CONJURATION (always spectacular, IMHO)
 Runner Up:  SWEET MUSETTE (wow, it had HUGE flowers too!)
 Both were shown by Dorothy Vande of New Berlin, WI
 
 Siberian Irises really got the attention and recognition they deserved at 
 this show.
 
 Best Siberian and Best Red Iris in Show was JEWELLED CROWN
 Best Blue Iris in Show was WINDWOOD SPRING
 Best Violet Iris in Show was CORONATION ANTHEM
 
 Trust me, winning best blue or best violet is NOT an easy feat. HUGE 
 competition from the "tall guys".  I was thrilled these Sibs were chosen 
best 
 in their respective color classes.  By the way, all these Siberians were 
 exhibited by myself.  I also won most blue ribbons in Siberian section. The 
 best part was that many folks got a good look at these irises and expressed 
 interest in getting some for their own gardens or expanding their current 
 collection.  Hurrah for the Siberians!!
 
 Oh yes, I also won best Arilbred with MOONCHILD (who was blooming quite 
 late).  Thank you Leslie Jobe for sending it to me!  I also won Best Median 
 and Best MTB with a stalk of ROSEMARY'S DREAM which is always a top 
performer 
 in my garden.
 
 Okay, enough of the shameless bragging...
