LEWISTON — The 39th annual Median Iris and Spring Flower Show will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, May 30, in the multi-purpose room at Lewiston High School, 156 East Ave. The entrance to the show is in the back of the school.

The smaller irises that bloom in May in Maine gardens are usually the focus of the show, accompanied by spring flowers, including bulbs, perennials and flowering shrubs. With this year’s warm spring and the later show date, there may be intermediate and some tall bearded irises on display.

Wildflowers cultivated in gardens compete for the Bernard W. McLaughlin award. A special award is given to the best dandelion in remembrance of Phil Mellicone. American Iris Society awards are given for the best iris specimens and are judged by certified judges. The best floral arrangement is given the Clara MacClaren award. Garden Club Federation of Maine judges choose the winning arrangements. The public is invited to vote in the people’s choice categories.

The show will be accompanied by a perennial sale. Admission is free. This year the show is co-chaired by Peter Young of Buckfield and Harriet Robinson of Otisfield.
