I'm glad to hear you all say that about the ones in "stasis"...I have a few I planted and don't seem to be doing a thing and we just had (are having) our first snow. and snow. All day. and some snow. Did I mention we're getting a little snow?

I am sad to say that my Point of No Return has found no point in continuing. Crying Crying I thought I had saved an increase, but we have been warm and humid when it hasn't been raining, so I think that caused the rest of it to rot. I should have put it in the basement for awhile. Sighing!

I have been really blessed with a lot of great new iris this year but dang, two of the iris I really wanted to grow both rotted! I will try them again next year, but I am bummed.

that seems to be the way it is with me too, Leslie. The very ones I look forward to and get all giddy about when I get them are the ones that conk out.

Add a Walmartian Clarence(Immortality as yall state) to that list (recept in hand ready). That's a pungent smell Thumbs down . The dry leaves I didn't peel back stored every bit of the 3+ inches of rain over the past week. Rhizome is still solid as a brick a hopefully I scraped and treated the very small portion, so we'll see.
Gimme it and I'll grow it!

Sorry Mary Ann, but it was appropriate this year to my iris. I fear mentioning the other iris I am especially looking forward to since I don't want them jinxed too.

so say you are looking forward to some "junk" iris that you could care less about. Maybe the gnomes ARE listening to you!?!

Great idea Greg. But how to choose an iris I don't care about? THAT will be hard.
