Welcome to the Greater Portland Iris Society!
Despite the rain, hail, snow and wind, we still have a great bloom season in the greater Portland area. Yes, we do receive sunshine once in a while. Enjoy it while we can. The GPIS show last Saturday was the largest we have had in some time. Fourteen exhibitors brought in 142 entries. On the show bench were MDB's, SDB's, MTB's, IB's, PCI's, Species, and TB's. Chad Harris won Best of Show with "Big Money", a PCI. Speaking of MTB's, due to bloom at this time we are moving the IN-GARDEN JUDGE'S TRAINING SESSION forward one week. Jean Witt will be conducting a two hour in-garden session on May 15th in the Aitken's garden. The training session will start at 1:30 pm. If you plan to attend, please notify either Barbara Aitken or John Ludi. We need this information for head count purpose only. There is no registration fee. "Spuria Spectacle!" and Region 13 Meeting is just few weeks away. If you plan to attend and not sent in your registration or made hotel reservations, you still have time. More information can be found on the 2010 Spuria Convention page. Hope to see you there. If you like to grow irises, want to learn more about them, and meet other iris enthusiasts, we invite you to join us! Our membership is a group of enthusiastic gardeners who grow many kinds of irises. We are affiliated with the American Iris Society, meet monthly (except January and July), and have great iris shows and plant sales, in addition to an annual iris auction. |
