I  assume everyone on the Board knows that the Italian Iris Society is   
planning a symposium on garden irises in conjunction with its annual  
competition  in 
2006. Maretta Colasante invited me to submit a paper  to the symposium, and I 
 
just competed and sent it to her. It is  titled "The Father of Garden Iris  
Culture" and it explains how  Christiane Filloles, Anne Marie Chesnais and I 
were 
able through research  to discover biographical information on  
Marie-Guillaume de Bure, the  man who launched the iris as a  popular garden 
flower in 
France in  the 1820s. The first chapter of my book on  the early history of 
garden  
irises, which is now being edited by the publisher,  is a biography  of de 
Bure 
and his famous iris 'Buriensis'. 

I was very pleased  with the action of the Board to give the Warburton Medal  
to the  Italian Iris Society and Prof. Orsi, Margaret Cameron Longo and 
Valeria  
Romoli. Well done, Board! 
Ciao,  Clarence




This was news to me.  I hope Bruce gets some mention into the AIS  Bulletin 
International News.
