San Diego/Imperial County Iris Society

The San Diego/Imperial Counties Iris Society is a group of all ages open to garden enthusiasts who are interested in growing, showing or hybridizing bearded, arilbred, spuria, Louisiana, Japanese, Siberian and species irises. We meet monthly and also have triannual conventions and seminars around the state and nation to view and study irises. We are a very social group participating in dinners, luncheons and other parties. We put on a yearly show and iris sale for the public located at Balboa Park, Casa del Prado. Monthly meetings include a plant table for the purchase of rhizomes and door prize drawing awarding varieties of value. We hold a private auction each year so that members can share hundreds of cultivars. Those interested in meeting fellow irisarians and collecting this rainbow flower are encouraged to join us.
