Each year the American Iris Society judges vote for the top irises in each of the classes based on the irises performance in gardens. The 2013 winners have just been announced!
Beginning with the Dykes Medal Winner - 'That's All Folks' by William Maryott, shown at the left - a list of the winners and all the votes can be seen on the Iris Encyclopedia here.
In addition to the Iris Medal Winners for all 15 classes, the list also has the Walther Cup (all classes eligible) and has the Honorable Mention and Award of Merit irises in each class.
Congratulations to all the winners!
