That' s not exactly correct. Blyth's Decadence won:
Honorable Mention: 2006
Award of Merit: 2008
John C. Wister Medal: 2010
Fred and Barbara Walther Cup: 2006. And it is now #13 on this year's TBS popularity poll.
By contrast Cayeux, despite all these beauties pictured above, has not one iris in the top 100 of the popularity poll, and has not even won an honorable mention on a TB iris since one in 1935. Blyth is being recognized, but clearly Cayeux is not even in the running for awards and notice in the U.S. It's a shame.
For example, look at this beauty:
