Hybridizer Clara B.(1879-1970) & Ruth Rees
San Jose, California, USA
Received the American Iris Society
Hybridizer Award
in 1967.
From The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 199(October 1970)
: Clara B. Rees, at the age of ninety, who achieved world wide fame as an iris hybridizer with her production of SNOW FLURRY and other
irises,
has left us. The story of Clara Rees and her accomplishments will
b
e found in the January 1968 Bulletin, pp. 8-11, but in review, we must point out that the Clara B. Rees Iris Society is named for her, that she has received the Hybridizers Medal of the American Iris Society, and that she was named an Honorary Judge many years ago. Wherever irises are grown, Clara B. Rees and SNOW FLURRY will be remembered. As a tribute to her, the cup for the best white iris each year is named the Clara B. Rees Cup.
