The Miniature Dwarf and Standard Dwarf Irises are now blooming in Lincoln, Nebraska and are beautiful this year! Alas, with these warm days, most will be done by show time, but the later medians, tall beardeds and Siberian irises should be ready to go by then.
We invite you all to the Lincoln Iris Society Show this year. The show is scheduled for May 25th from 1:00-4:30 PM in the cafeteria area of Southeast Community College,
8800 ‘O’ Street in Lincoln, NE. If you are interested in entering the show, or for more
information contact us at lincolnirissociety@yahoo.com. You can download the schedule and details in this PDF LIS_ShowSched-2013.
Thank you to Linda Rader for the show details and to Gary White for sharing these pictures of iris now blooming in their garden. The top photo is the MDB Grey Pearls and the lower photo is the SDB Blue Denim which was the 1966 Cook-Douglas Medal winner.
What a lovely garden. The rocks are gorgeous. I really love Grey Pearls and have been searching for a source. I first saw it at a show in Milwaukee, WI but was given an impostor! I hope someone will see this and offer to swap, sell, or send for postage! 😉
