Welcome!
A hearty welcome to the TAIS website. This site is devoted to all who are interested in, and have a love for iris. Tucson Area Iris Society is the local Iris Chapter/Society for Tucson and the surrounding area, as well as an affiliate of the American Iris Society.
We're a non profit organization whose purpose is to promote the knowledge, culture and appreciation of plants in the genus iris. We hold a flower show in the spring and a plant sale in the fall of every year. Our meetings are held on Saturday mornings and free to the public.
