I originally joined the Dwarf Iris Society because I grow SDBs (Standard
DWARF
earded irises).  Unfortunately, the Dwarf Iris Society concentrates on
INIATURE Dwarf Irises, of which I have only been successful in growing one
ariety.  I terminated my membership
n the DIS and joined the Median Iris Society instead.  Combining the two
ocieties would be a benefit to the general iris public since most of them do
ot differentiate between the two classes.  To them, dwarf is little.

 I disagree with the proposal to combine the Dwarf Iris Society and the
 Median Iris Society. The Median Iris Society, being larger and encompassing
 more classes of irises, would overwhelm the Dwarf Iris class. The prevailing
 sentiment in most classes of irises is "bigger is better." Dwarf irises are
 supposed to be small and making them bigger removes them from the Dwarf
 iris class. The majority of Median iris people favor the combination, but
he
 majority of Dwarf iris people are against it. We want to preserve our
 dainty wildflowers.

 5. Dwarf Iris Section. The combining of the Dwarf and Median Iris
 sections has been discussed for some time. At this time a majority of people
 involved with these sections agree that they should be combined. Without
 going into a lot of discussion, I think it is time that there be a
 recommendation to combine the two sections and that work begin to accomplish
hat.
