The book “A Guide to species Iris, their identification and cultivation” (it was her work as editor on the British Iris Society’s), that has become one of the reference books for the irisarians. Award the Warburton Medal in 2000. Anne Blanco White found the time to help to find information on the irises are not available at the time of literature or other sources.
