As in all AIS varietal shows it is not the Iris being judged but the exhibitor. 75% of the points are for Horticulture/25% are for presentation.
How well it is grown for its particular variety or species? Judges should pay attention to damage; brown spots or leaf tips, infestations of insects, poor symmetry of growth, other factors showing poor vigor for the specimen.
Is the image in strong sunlight with disruptive shadows? Is there a disruptive background detracting from the flowers. If in a pot, is the pot clean? Are there weeds surrounding the plant. Could spent blossoms have been removed?
Generally is the plant/flower being presented with its best face?
