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. (Please note: not all irises exhibited will be at the sale!) There are also many KCIS members available to answer any questions about the joy and care of iris! Come join the fun!!
