| Thanks! Question: does an iris become eligible for the Dykes immediately following a year winning a Wister Medal, or is it two years later that the iris is eligible to win? Mike in SC |
|
| Mike, An iris that wins a section medal is eligible for the Dykes the first year after winning. There is a rest period for a year between steps up the awards ladder except after winning a section medal. I think the fastest an iris (bearded) can win a Dykes is eight years if it wins each step on its first eligibility. 1987 Iris is introduced. |

| Walter Great explanation of the ladder to the awards. I was thrilled to see that Starwoman received the DM for several reasons, one it is a great iris, and two it is not a tall bearded iris. I love all iris and feel that all iris should have the same chance and with Marky receiving it for this one, it might open the way for others to follow D |

| Out by the side of 1993 Wister, I should have added 'or other bearded medal to include medians (several medals within this group), MDBs, and aril/arilbreds.' They are all eligible. It takes longer for a beardless to climb the ladder. Thus far none has made it though many have been deserving. |
|
| Thanks, That's very helpful. I guess if I had been thinking I would have seen that "Starring" won the Wister last year and was 2nd runner up this year. |
