There has been some rust here too, thanks to the rain that we have had the past couple of months. I've been pulling leaves, and may punt another plant. (It's disheartening... from it's parentage, I would have expected better resistance. I'll wait a bit and see what it does, I guess.)

In the seedling patch, several of them showed some signs of rust late last winter (when they were still crammed in 4" pots and there was heavy rust pressure in the garden), but I planted them out anyway. A couple of the bigger and older ones are presently looking suspicious, but the rest, thus far, seem okay. (Knock on wood...) The sketchy ones are from my dabbling at trying to improve rust resistance in near white tets, so no big surprise there.
Evaluating an iris seedling, hopefully for rebloom
