The CAROL LANKOW MEDAL (Standard Dwarf Iris Popularity Symposium)
Submitted by Fran Hawk, published in the Spring 2003 Regional Newsletter, and
republished here.
The Carol Lankow Medal is the Region 13 popularity poll for Standard Dwarf
Bearded (SDB) Irises. Some of the nation's foremost hybridizers of SDBs
live and work here in Region 13. The Carol Lankow Medal will promote the newer
SDB varieties by selecting those that merit the "advance notice" this
award will bring.
Rules for voting for are simple:
- Any Standard Dwarf Iris that has been
introduced in the last 10 years is eligible.
- Each voter must be a resident and member of
Region 13.
- Each voter may cast votes for up to
thirteen (13) SDBs.
- Do not include past Carol Lankow Medal
winners.
- Do not include any SDB seedlings not yet
introduced.
When you visit gardens in the Spring, please take notes about the Standard Dwarf
Bearded Irises that you view. Then select your favorite baker's dozen. (You need
not vote for 13 if your list of favorites is more limited.)
Deadline for voting in 2003 was June 10. Send ballots to:
Fran Hawk
4913 1/2 Woodland Pk N
Seattle, WA 98103-6658
Votes will be tabulated and the winner will be awarded the Carol Lankow Medal at
the Fall Meeting in October. Articles with symposium results will go to
interested regional newsletters, as well as to the Medianite.
