American Iris Society

The American Iris Society (AIS, founded 1920) is an organization dedicated to sharing information about and sponsoring research on the iris, a temperate zone plant that is often cultivated for its showy flowers. A major goal in its early years was to bring order to the then-confused nomenclature of the genus Iris, especially garden iris species and cultivars.[1] Its members comprise horticulturists, botanists, gardeners, plant breeders, and nursery owners.[2]
