Queen of the Show: Tall Bearded Iris Whats My Line Paul Black 2003

Exhibited by Anita Hall of Gisborne,

A first time exhibitor in the Novice Section

 

Judges comments: Considering the recent extremes of weather in the region there was a very good showing in all the classes in the schedule, and most entries had stood up to the weather surprisingly well. There was a large number of entries in the Tall Bearded classes, and a very good number of Siberian irises entered in the Beardless classes, and most blooms were well presented. In some cases better presentation and staging would have improved the entrants chances.

The iris which won Queen of the Show was a very well grown and presented stem of the cultivar.
