KCIS Bearded and Beardless Iris Show
Saturday, May 17, 2008
10:00 AM to 5:00 PM

Join us for the KCIS Iris Show at Crossroads Bellevue in Bellevue, WA.  This will be an AIS accredited judged event open to the public from 12:00pm to 5:00pm. This is great time to view a number of irises all at once. Bearded irises are the main feature, with a splash or two of Beardless varieties, such as Japanese, Siberian and Pacific Coast Native mixed in. Bring a pad and paper so you can write down the iris you want to look for at the Sales in August and September. There are also many KCIS members available to answer any questions about the joy and care of iris! Come join the fun!!

Directions to Crossroads Bellevue
NE 8th & 156th Ave. NE
