The Canadian Iris Society/Hamilton Iris Show and Picnic

June 7, 2009

While it wasn't a large event, it was a very good one. The show was held at Trails End Iris Gardens just on the outskirts of Ancaster, Ontario.

Threatening skies didn't dampen the enthusiasm. There was still plenty to see on the show tables.

While peak flowering time is not always the best time to purchase irises there were plenty of varieties for sale.

Trails End Irises specializes in Dykes Medal Winners. The Dykes Medal is the highest “Quality” award an Iris can receive.

A late frost in the spring nipped many of the developing buds, but as you can see this didn't prevent me from taking some great photos.

Anne & Bob Granatier should be commended for hosting such an enjoyable event.

Now that I have whet your appetite for irises here is the best way to satisfy that hunger: attend an iris society sale and auction.
