Request for Guest SPURIA Irises

Spuria Iris Convention
Portland, Oregon 2010


The Greater Portland Iris Society will be host for a Spuria Iris Convention in June of 2010.  Hybridizers are invited to send rhizomes of recent Spuria introductions and seedlings under consideration for introduction.

Please observe the following guidelines for submission of guest iris:

  1. There will be four gardens on display for this convention so please do not send more than four (4) rhizomes of any one variety.
  2. Plants will be accepted from July 15th to September 30th, although mid August is preferred.
  3. Ship Plants to: 
    John Ludi, Guest Plant Chair
    35071 S. E. Hwy. 211
    Boring, OR 97009-9584
  4. The name of the variety or the seedling number should be clearly marked on each plant.
  5. In addition please send the following information on a separate packing list accompanying the plants:
    A.  Hybridizers name, street address, phone # and E-mail if possible
    B.  Plants name or seedling number of each variety
    C.  Height, color, season of bloom

If a guest seedling is later named, it is the responsibility of the Hybridizer to notify the Guest Iris Chairman no later than January 31, 2010.

Before the convention hybridizers will be asked for instructions regarding disposition of plants and for any donations for auction to help raise money for the society.  Failure to reply in a timely manner will be interpreted as permission to destroy all seedlings and to distribute or put into auction named varieties.

The Convention Committee and the owners of the tour gardens will follow the code of ethics as printed in the AIS Convention Handbook revised 2007.
