The Reblooming Iris Recorder

The RIS was organized in 1967 and is a section of the American Iris Society devoted to promoting interest and development of all iris types having more than one bloom season per year.

In milder parts of the United States, some iris have reached the "ever bloom" classification, in others, a second and possibly a third bloom are possible. In California there is almost year round bloom.

In some far northern areas such as Maine, there are also reblooming iris. Some varieties of Siberian and Japanese iris have been reported to bloom up to 10 weeks. 

The Reblooming Iris Society (RIS) has over 450 members. The RIS is a non-profit 501(C)(3) organization.
