Society for Pacific Coast Native Iris Join the Society |
If you love Pacific Coast Native Iris, we know you will enjoy and benefit from membership in the Society for Pacific Coast Native Iris (SPCNI), a section of the American Iris Society.
Our publication, the Almanac, is issued twice yearly. In it is information on each species and the hybrids [or "Pacificas"] derived from them - how to grow them from seed, when to transplant them, where to see them in the wild, and other pertinent information.
A seed list of species and open-pollinated hybrids is included in the Fall issue. Useful publications are offered for sale, postpaid, such as: Victor A. Cohen's A Guide to the Pacific Coast Iris, published by the British Iris Society, at $6.00; or Dr. Lee Lenz' A Revision of the Pacific Coast Irises, and Hybridization and Speciation in the Pacific Coast Irises, at $8.00 each, or both for $14.00. (Outside the USA, please add $1.00 more per booklet.)
Each year in bloom season we organize a Trek to see these iris in their native habitat and/or hybrids in garden situations. Sometimes this is a bus or van trip, on which a native plant expert familiar with the area (if available) accompanies us. Other times, directions are given to areas where the species grow in the wild, meeting places designated, and travel is by caravan.
If you would like to join the society, or simply subscribe to the Almanac, please copy and send the application slip below to SPCNI, 33450 Little Valley Road, Fort Bragg, CA 95437. [E-MAIL: irishud@earthlink.net]
