MVIS Monthly Meeting


August 17, 2025

MVIS makes two distributions of iris to MVIS members, usually at the August and/or September meetings:
1. The distribution to MVIS Iris Sitters of recently purchased Club Iris.
2. The distribution to MVIS members of Returned Increase Iris from Club Iris distributed in prior years.

 DISTRIBUTION PROCESS.

1. A list of available Club irises is emailed to club members.  This is purchased from a single hybridizer and the irises have been introduced in the past couple of years.

2. At the August meeting people's number will be pulled by a random process, similar to the process used in MVIS meetings.

3.  Once your number is pulled, go up and select the iris you want.  Let the club know which irises you have.  You will be responsible for bringing them back in a few years when they have multiplied.

4.  The random draw will be performed until all the purchased irises are gone.

Time permitting, we will have a program on Growing Irises in the Southwest
