Iris Lovers
The enthusiasm of iris growers for their favourite flower is such that when the annual convention of the New Zealand Iris Society was held in Gisborne recently, those attending included five from the U.S.A. and others from far and near in New Zealand.
The programme for delegates included tours of the city and district to inspect blooms grown by local iris devotees.
The conference convenor, Mr D. A. Blackburn, addressing delegates at the opening, held at the home of Mr and Mrs R. Graham in Haronga Road. With him are the Mayor, Mr H. H. Barker (who opened the conference) and Mrs Barker.
Training his camera on the "Photo News" photographer is Mr W. F. Scott, Missouri, accompanied by his wife and three other U.S.A. visitors and the president of the N.Z. Society, Mrs W. J. Glasgow, Nelson.
