GPIS President’s
Message
As I set here by the
warm fire place look-
ing out the window, I
see another cold, wet
wintery day. ―Hurry
Up Spring‖. A walk
through the iris
patch, I find new
growth especially on
the MDB’s and SDB’s. Spurias have been growing
all Winter, even in the 6 inches of snow. Before the
snow storm, my I. ungicularis was in full bloom.
At our upcoming March meeting, Steve Schreiner is
going to join us with a program ―Days in The Life of
Schreiner’s Gardens‖. His presentation will include
some history and current day to day operations. Hav-
ing visited the garden area several times during a
year, there is always something in progress.
Mark your calendar: May 17-19, is the AIS Region
13 Spring Convention hosted by GPIS. The hotel is
the Shilo Inn Suites Portland Airport on NE Airport
Way. Scheduled for Friday evening is the AIS Re-
gion 13 General Membership Meeting and a hybrid-
izer’s show and tell. Saturday a bus tour to Mt Pleas-
ant Iris Farm, Aitken’s Salmon Creek Garden and a
session on Artistic Design and Arrangement at the
hotel. After dinner, we will have an awards program,
a live auction of newer iris introductions and the Re-
distribution of Irises. Sunday morning – a two-hour
Judge’s Training session on ―Awards and Ballots‖.
The schedule of events, hotel information and regis-
tration form can be found in the Calendar of Events
Section on the GPIS Website as follows:
―greaterportlandirissociety.org‖. Be sure to check the
registration/reservation cutoff dates.
Refreshments for March meeting – last name begin-
ning with M-Z.
