Has anyone heard which irises won the Franklin Cook
Memorial Cup, President's Cup, and Ben Hager Cup at the AIS convention in Portland back in May?

I think Carl mentioned something about the awards in the Convention Thread. I hope that means he and Mikey have some pictures of the winners.

All that is left is the final banquet and awards.

I love Moose Tracks!

Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?

Zurbrigg/Mahan Seedling Cup - 'Royston Rubies' (Cordes, R. 2015) : A very pretty red.

Love Lynda's Moose Tracks, and Football Hero is pretty darn nice too.

I almost bought Swans In Flight this year. So I guess this means I like all the winners!
