I find the Convention fascinating and fun. I learn so much each time I go. Hearing speakers like Barry Blyth, George Sutton, Keith Keppel and Paul Black was very interesting and they illustrated their talks with slides. I recommend the Convention to anyone who is interested in iris.
Another fascinating thing is that rises grow differently in different climates. It was quite illuminating to see that the starts of the show in the Oklahoma City Convention and the stars in Austin were almost completely different cultivars. Florentine Silk was absolutely stunning in Oklahoma City and barely grew in Austin. There were many similar examples.
Here is Stardock by George Sutton, 2004.
