Senior Snippets programs sponsored jointly by the Bluffton Parks Department and the Wells County Historical Society concluded on a recent Wednesday morning with Alan Daugherty presenting an illustrated program about Wells County’s “Irisoligist” E. B. Williamson. On hand for the presentation about the prize winning tall breaded Irises propagated by Williamson were a great granddaughter Tammy Cromie-Wilkins and great great granddaughter Sarah Stikeleather. Learned by those attending was that Williamson’s daughter Mary was responsible for the prize winning smaller “Table Irises” called runts by Williamson. The “Wabash” Iris receiving the Dykes Medal in 1940 was a creation of Mary’s. (Photo by Barbara Barbieri)
