RE: Silver Medal for BIS

["E. R. Epperson" <kirklee@triad.rr.com>]

The term "North American Iris" is that used by The British Iris Society.  To
my knowledge, all winners to date have been TBs hybridized by North American
hybridizers.

Sorry I didn't get this said sooner, but maybe "North American iris" needs
to
be defined in the motion.  Iris native to North America?  Iris hybridized in
North America?  Iris hybridized by a North American resident?
