Welcome, Barbara. Please do join CIS and AIS. CIS now does a silent
auction through the mail so that those who are unable to come to the RBG can
still bid on newer varieties of bearded iris. Are you currently growing
bearded or beardless iris?
You will find many cold climate iris growers on this list. I believe that
there are even a few CIS members out your way.
