I’ve found out that Arthur J
Bliss (1862-1931) was a major iris
breeder in the early years of the 20th
century. He had an international
reputation and his full-petalled irises
changed the direction of iris breeding.
Bliss was the son of an Oxford vicar
called William Bliss and Arthur was the
oldest son of 11 children. The family
budget precluded him from going to
university, although all seven sons were
educated at Stonyhurst College, a
catholic boarding school in Lancashire.
Bliss, who is thought to have been a
civil engineer, worked in New Zealand
and South Africa. However, he went deaf,
possibly after an accident, and retired
aged 40. He moved to the Devon village
of Morwellham Quay on the banks of the
River Tamar in 1912 and devoted himself
to breeding irises. He was encouraged by
Britain’s foremost iris
authority, William Rickatson Dykes,
secretary of the Royal Horticultural
Society 1921-25. Following
Dykes’s tragic death in a road
accident in 1925, the Dykes Medal was
created and it’s still awarded
annually to the best tall bearded
iris.
