Since 1962 the Toronto Region Iris Society (TORIS) has had an Annual Iris Show in late May or early June. The location of the Show has changed over its forty plus year history however it is currently held at the Toronto Botanical Garden (TBG) in Toronto.
This event encourages TORIS members to enter their named bloom stalks for judging. Points, awarded for first, second and third place blooms stalks, can be used to buy iris rhizomes at the TORIS Auction and Sale held in August at the TBG.
See attached show schedule for details.
