Debbie’s first memory of irises was long ago. One morning on her way out the door to school there were six sky blue flags waving in the flower bed around a peach tree. From then on they have been incorporated into her heart. “Life is so full of wondrous and breathtaking things, but my favorite two are my family and my irises.”  She has been an Iris Judge since 1980 and Master Judge since 2000, and has loved it the whole time. “Every year I get to add new friends, (iris and people) into my life. I introduce everyone I know to the excitement and beauty of the iris.  I have encouraged many children to love nature, especially plants and the iris.”
