Club Plant Distribution & Auctions - May 19th
I'm sure that I'm not mistaken when I say that everyone departed Floral Hall with big smiles on their faces! Over 150 daylily plants and 45 iris plants found new homes via the plant distribution, auctions, and silent bidding. Our thanks should go to Jackie Westhoff, Diann Pavelka and LeAnn Pisarik for selecting so many beautiful plants on our behalf, keeping track of their orders, and providing us with updated PowerPoint presentations and master lists in the weeks leading up to May 19th. An overview of the latter can be accessed here. We should also thank the very efficient team at the front of the Hall, namely Keith Riewerts (auctioneer), Bob Papenhausen (lottery czar and comedy king), Heather Harroun, Sue Kramer, and Jo Lynn Johnson (record keepers). Last but not least were three plant distributors (Jan Rogers, Darrin Lett and Shelly Lett) and photographer Nancy Rash, to whom we are also extremely grateful. What a marvelous team!

The purchased irises were divided into three different groups. The Siberian and Japanese iris were auctioned, while the Hidden Springs iris found new owners via Silent Bid sheets. Please note that the Joni's Dance in the Wind iris will be auctioned at the Monticello meeting in August. More details will be posted about these cultivars later this summer.
