All types. Most people don't put DI's in the main show, because they are past their best. There is an early show, and it is open to the public, but few come because it isn't well advertised and is at night, in a church hall. It is a much smaller show but there were DI's, lots of PCI's and dwarf beardeds there last year. If you join the club you would be most welcome to come along with Dutch iris and take out some prizes! :-) I think admission is free to that.
At the main show you will see mostly bearded, but many Louisiana iris, Pacific Coast iris, Spurias, some early siberians, some late Dwarf and Intermediate beardeds, Sometimes some very early Japanese. Also quite a few of the various species irises on display.
There is a late show 2 weeks later, small like the early show, by then the louisianas, siberians and Spurias are at their best, and the Japanese irises are starting. |
