Popularity Polls

Tall Bearded Symposium

Most years the sections and cooperating societies focused on a special type of Iris conduct popularity polls among their membership. The AIS conducts a Tall Bearded Symposium among its membership. Lists of the results for each year from 2007 to 2022 are available as PDFs on the AIS page. We have consolodated photo galleries of the 100 favorite irises from AIS Tall Bearded Symposium for 2010, 2011 and 2022

Additional Links may be provided for these symposia in the future.
