🎶 "I'm a-rottin' in the rain, gettin' squishy and I feel the pain"
Just got done (gave up) in the the iris beds. With all the rain we have been getting (and snow/melt/snow/melt) I discovered that about 80 percent of my rhizomes have rot. I noticed that most of them started rotting at the main rhizome, then spread to the new offshoots (?). I completely lost Sweeter Than Wine, among others (but I really really wanted that one!). American Master seems to have held up the best, as well as some of the (as yet) unidentifiable ones that survived the rabbit invasion earlier this year. Who'd've thought that the only iris that would be happy in the middle of the desert would be my Louisianas
?
Soooooo thinking of switching to Daylillies!
