Iowa Regional Lily Show

Lilies from Iowa and surrounding states, plus a number of floral designs and photos, will fill Reiman Gardens’ Events Hall with color and beauty as we host the Iowa Regional Lily Society’s (IRLS) Annual Lily Show again this year.

The day starts early with the IRLS cleaning and preparing the lily stems and assembling floral designs. Judging of the entries takes place from about 10 a.m. to noon, then the show opens to the public, and finally, the award-winning lilies are placed at the head table for everyone to see and appreciate.

The IRLS Lily Show is held in a public place to expose and educate the general public about the various exotic colors, shapes, and fragrances of lilies.

No pre-registration is required. Attendance is free for members and ISU students. Price of admission for the general public. While here, visit the tropical Hughes Conservatory, the Christina Reiman Butterfly Wing, and the gift shop.
