TALL BEARDED IRIS SOCIETY (TBIS)
Ron Cosner, President
As we sit here during a somewhat quiet period,
I am contemplating how strange and at times how
violent the weather has been and how all this has
affected our growing season. And while wrapping
up many of the annual sales and dealing with the
rhizomes and cutting back the fans we have an
empty feeling. For among the many losses this year
has brought us, for TBIS we have lost a member
of our family and board, Perry Dyer. Perry was an
ambassador for the iris breed. He was a mentor to
many and a friend to all irisarians. He will be missed.
This article is very brief but I would ask you to turn to
the latest issue of the Tall Bearded Bulletin, Tall Talk,
and a brief bio written by Perry by and about himself.
