MOUNTAIN VIEW IRIS SOCIETY’S IRIS SHOW
WHEN TO START: Check your garden during the week prior to the show.
Straighten a likely stalk with a stake and a tie.
WHEN TO CUT STALKS:
Stalks may be cut the day prior to the show either to speed up the opening
of the buds or to hold them back.
If the weather is threatening (rain, hail, wind), you may want to cut all
entries the day before. Cut stalks at ground level as they can be cut to
proper length before entering in the Show.
HOW TO TRANSPORT: VERY CAREFULLY!!!
WHEN TO ENTER: All entries must arrive at Mountain View Meeting Place
106 E. Washington Street, Mountain View, Arkansas Saturday morning, 9:00 a.m.
until 11:00 a.m. No entries will be accepted after 11:00 a.m.
CAUTION:
Every entry must have at least one open bloom. Flowers should be fresh without
breaks, tears, insects, or insect damage.
GROOMING: Stalks and flowers should be clean - damp cloth, q-tips,
small brush are helpful tools for the final touches. Vases will be available for
displaying your iris blooms.
ENTRY TAGS: An entry tag must be filled out properly for each entry. The volunteer will take the entry tag and place under the iris entry on the Show tables.
The irises you enter are judged against perfection for that iris variety. The public cannot see your name on the entry tag, and thus the awarding of ribbons is as
objective as possible. An older variety, grown and exhibited to perfection, can win the BLUE RIBBON as well as the newer introductions.
Our iris show is presented to have more people see a lovely display of iris!
