Awards

Each year American Iris Society judges give their time to evaluate and cast their votes for irises they consider to be superior garden subjects. There are also overseas competitions that Thomas and I participate in. Judges were very good to us this year. Following is a list of those awards and at the end is a summary of those awards from the American Iris Society.
