Colorful tall bearded iris, as well as smaller species irises, will be on display. It’s an opportunity to find new varieties that will grow well in your locale.

Exhibitors should cut an entire bloom stalk close to the ground and put it into a glass container with water. The best stalks are ones with newly opened flowers on top.

Once the flowers have been judged and awarded ribbons, the show will open for viewing.
