August 2021

Now it's time for all of you to 'smell the flowers' or just look for that 'special rock' like Freddie!

Thank you, Thank you, To all of you!

The annual iris rhizome sale of 2021 is in the books! What a success it was!

We had 2 intense weeks of preparation and finally, Saturday, July 31, everything was ready. Then the iris enthusiasts arrived in great numbers for our sale. These lovers of iris had 180 varieties of iris from which they chose their favorites.

This all would not have been possible without all of you helping in your special ways. From generously donating your iris for the sale, digging, washing, trimming, labeling, sorting, providing a collection site, printing pictures, advertising, transporting the iris, setting up early in the morning of the sale, greeting and helping our iris customers, purchasing, etc. You did this all in excessive heat! The Missoula Iris Society is very thankful and appreciative of your dedicated participation!

A profit and expense report will be submitted in the October newsletter.

Our next meeting will be in October. Watch for the October Missoula Society newsletter for details.

Thank you all,

Betty Ann Gustafson, Missoula Iris Society President
