Delane Langton, Missoula Iris Society member, has submitted an article for our newsletter entitled Our Version of Iris Insanity. It was written by Delane Langton and Jane Tibbs, for the Dwarf Iris Society.

This is a great article! It will have us thinking cheerfully about our upcoming iris season during these winter months.

View Our Version of Iris Insanity in an attachment to this newsletter. Enjoy! [This article not available online. Sorry!]
