INDIANA DAYLILY-IRIS SOCIETY (IDIS)Non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of daylilies and irisOn our site you will find our calendar of events for this year, our newsletter, links to our national and regional societies, and links to local growers. Latest News"Water Lovers of Asia" Chad Harris of Mt Pleasant Iris Farm in Washougal, WA will be our speaker on Tuesday, May 1 at 6:30pm. Chad has been growing many different species of irises in southwest Washington for over 35 years. He is known for his work with Iris ensata (Japanese iris, Hanashobu) of which several of his introductions hold national awards. Currently he and a handful of hybridizers worldwide are using Iris ensata to create a new iris hybrid called “Pseudata” that is longer blooming and more tolerant of cultural needs. He has also started to work with an Asian water species: Iris laevigata (Kakitsubata in Japan) the true water iris of Asia. These plants of the iris family are very well suited growing near water, some in the water as pond plants, in rain gardens, as well as patio containers.
