The Westbay Iris Society is made of folks that share a common interest and passion for the beautiful and very diverse iris family. Although our focus is often on the bearded irises, we collect and admire the other forms such as the pacific coast irises (PCI) and spurias to name a few.

Membership in Westbay Iris Society is open to all. Westbay is a nonprofit organization affiliated with the American Iris Society.  See link above to join.

We meet at the Shoup Park Garden House, 400 University Avenue, Los Altos, starting at 7:30 PM (click here for directions), on the third Friday of each month except May, July, August and December. 

  • In May we hold our spring show and potted iris sale
  • In July we hold a potluck luncheon which includes an auction and raffle for bearded iris
  • August is plant sale month when we sell the dormant rhizomes

All other meetings include a program covering one of the various types of irises, their culture, or other iris related topics.

At our regular meetings we have a door prize drawing of recently hybridized irises. It is a fun way to encourage people to attend the meetings. This next meeting.
