The latest edition of Spuria News, the Newsletter of the Spuria Iris Society, published twice a year and available to Spuria Iris Society members is on its way.
Here are a few of the topics in this edition:
Missouri Ramblin by Jim Hedgecock is encouraging spuria hybridizing and hybridizers
A Blast From the Past by Darol Jurn has spurias at a Fall Iris Show, as well as separate articles on growing spurias from seeds and spuria iris culture
Request for Spuria Guest Iris Rhizomes for the 2029 Spuria Convention, Ramona, California
2026 Introductions
For those new to spurias, they are tall (2 to 5 feet in height) and elegant, and have very attractive foliage. The shape of the bloom often suggests orchids, and the colors range from white and yellow through blue, wine, and brown, often with bright yellow signals. This horticultural class is equivalent to the botanical Series Spuriae. The highest award is the Eric Nies Medal.
The Spuria Iris Society is a section of The American Iris Society, and is dedicated to expanding the public's knowledge of spuria irises. For more information about growing spuria irises and becoming a member of the Society, please visit their website.
Happy Gardening!
