'That's All Folks'

What can you say about an iris that has it all? Vibrant color, abundant blooms, lush growth and so pretty it just makes you want to stare and smile. It's no wonder this cultivar won the Dykes Medal from the American Iris Society in 2013.
The Dykes Medal is only awarded to one iris variety each year, and in order to win it must have previously won the highest award for its class, the Wister medal for tall bearded iris, and it must get more votes from iris judges than any other iris in the running. All classes of iris can compete for the Wister medal including spurias, arilbreds, Siberians etc, not just all the classes of bearded, so its a great mark of distinction.
Without further ado, here is 'That's All Folks', from Bill Maryott; his final introduction before leaving iris hybridizing and moving on to daylilies.
