lovemyhouse said:Kent, I LOVE that first seedling!

The SDB? I nearly tossed it last spring.

It only survived because it was in the same row as this one:

and I figured if I wasn't going to tear out the whole row I might as well keep the white-bearded one, too.

The top one looks like 'texture veining' & the other is regular plicata.

Marvin, do you ever register your irises? It looks like you have some nice seedlings.

Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason.

Really like that second one, Marvin.

It’s okay to not know all the answers.

Hello all... Nice pics everyone! And Marvin, I LOVE that second one! I too live in the rainy Willamette Valley where leaf spot / fungus is rampant. I'm in OTIS with Keith Keppel and asked him what he sprayed with and he said he doesn't! Now I don't feel so bad about not spraying, since I hate all those chemicals.

Hi Patty, I haven't seen you on here before, welcome. I don't worry about leaf spot at all. Some years it's bad, and others it's not a problem. As long as it doesn't kill the plant I not too worried about it.

Thanks for the welcomes... I'm on here now and then, as time allows. Mostly reading the posts and admiring the pics. Guess the leaf spot is here to stay then... But it's really awful right now!!
