From the President ~ WOW! Spring is here and we are in another Iris bloom season. This last year sure went by very quickly. I hope everyone will have an excellent 2010 bloom season. I have been contacted by several people asking for assistance with locating historic irises for home gardens as well as public gardens, and identifying historic irises found. The latest request has come from the Reader Rock Garden in Calgary, Alberta Canada. You will find more information about the garden and the irises they are looking for in this issue of Ro o t s. Hopefully you are planning on attending the AIS Convention in Madison, WI from May 31, 2010 through June 5, 2010. To help the Society For Siberian Irises celebrate their 50th Anniversary as a society, Anne and Mike Lowe will be presenting a program on Historic Siberians at the HIPS General Membership Meeting/Program. I hope to see you there. CONGRATULATIONS to the Society For Siberian Irises as they celebrate 50 years. I hope you will consider participating in the 2010 Rhizome Sale by either donating rhizomes or purchasing rhizomes. The list is in this issue; you can also go to the HIPS Web Site at www.hips-roots.com for the list of irises or contact Janice Thompson at ciris03@yahoo.com or Barbara Jackson at jacksonb@ mts.net for more information. On behalf of the HIPS Board of Directors and the HIPS Membership, I would like to extend our condolences and sympathy to the family of E. Roy Epperson and to the American Iris Society in the loss of Dr. E. Roy Epperson, President of the American Iris Society. It would be interesting to hear from you about how historic irises are doing in your area whether it be in the garden or in a show. So, please write to me or Gesine Lohr, Ro o t s Editor. Please support the commercial gardens listed in Ro o t s and on the HIPS Web Site, under Sources, by ordering a catalog and buying some historic irises to add to your garden. As always, keep growing those Historic Irises. If you have any questions about HIPS, please feel free to contact me at pwgossett@juno.com.
