New irises developed in the past few years are quite different in texture, form, color and blooming seasons than the flowers of past decades. This is a unique opportunity to buy these rhizomes and benefit the organizations that support the development efforts. Sales through the organizations also offer a substantial savings to buyers over nurseries.
The event is supported by the Kaysville/Fruit Heights Iris Society.
