East We Go! The 2016 American Iris Society Convention Update

Presby is honored to be the host garden for the 2016 AIS convention, May 23
b May 28. Many of you have probably seen the bbeds under construction,b
or
the colorful ribbons outlining new beds as we make room for additions to
the garden.

This is year 2 of the preparation process . Almost 2,000 iris have been
received at Presby. They have been cataloged, planted, labeled, and shared
with other host gardens for the 2016 AIS convention. Ninety-eight
hybridizers have sent us their new introductions for us to grow out. We
have planted 794 varieties of tall bearded iris and 93 non-bearded, 887 new
varieties in all. We canbt wait to see what these blooms will look like.
