Greg Hester knows his stuff. Everything I have bought from him has done well.
Today was our Iris Show and we had record attendance, sold all of our potted plants in a few hours and I won Best Design of Show plus 4 blue ribbons and many other seconds and thirds. Not a single one got only Honorable Mention so I must have done well. So glad it is over though since being Show Co-Chair is hard.
Great day overall. We have several hybridizers in our club so winning is tough plus very serious (but professional) judges. Got 34 new members signed up for our society. Yea!

Yay Jane! That is quite an accomplishment!
I need to email the Hester's and rave about Vuneta Krisle. It is still blooming away and smells sooooooooo good. And this is it's maiden bloom year!
And I love their Burseens (of course!).
