AUBURN – The Maine Iris Society will hold its 59th annual Flower Show from 1:30-4 p.m. on Saturday, June 15, at the Auburn Middle School on 38 Falcon Drive. Many varieties of irises will be on display as well as peonies and hosta leaves. Admission is free.

Potted plants will be available for sale this year along with $1 rhizomes.

The Maine Iris Society exists to develop the science of horticulture, specifically through the propagation and culture of the genus, Iris, and to stimulate and foster interest in irises through education of the public and its members, according to a news release from the society.

Annual membership dues are $8 per individual and $10 for two in the same household. Members receive the informative MIS newsletter. Annual events include tours of member gardens, a picnic and plant swap, a photo contest, plant sales and auctions and an annual meeting that typically features a special speaker.
