20 May 2013 On 15 till 20 April 2013 in Dallas (TX) was Convention of American Iris Society (AIS)
Convention of AIS (American Iris Society), was during for six days on 15 till 20 April 2013. Every day in the morning all participants went on an excursion on the Iris Gardens. In the second half of the day were the reports, the meeting, the panel studies, etc.
Since  the day I took part in the Convention is in Dallas, and I knew tours of the gardens and parks, I decided to take part only in the section SIGNA (Species Iris Genus North America). I made two presentations, one “Collection of Irises of the Komarov Botanical Institute RAS including irises of North America”, other was devoted “Irises of Russian flora in nature and collection Iridarium”. Very interesting and informative report was Benny Trahan “Collecting Species in Louisiana”. Some of these wild plants we have grown in the collection, for example, I. brevicaulis, I. fulva etc. On closing banquet, President AIS Jim Morris thanked for attending the oldest and the youngest participants, as well as foreign counterparts. At the Convention were presented with medals and trophies to winners of competitions among hybridizers. At the Convention I met old friends and made new with whom we discussed the wok with irises, and made plans for the future. It was a pleasure to see Dave Niswonger, Jim Morris, Gary E. White, Will Plotner, Bob Prise, Rodney Barton, Darlene Cook and others. Unfortunately Convention did not have Bob Hollingwood and Jim Waddick, with whom we do correspondence, and they helped me in my work with irises, articles and support in obtaining grants in the Foundation AIS.
