That's encouraging that in spring the new fans will spring up. I thought I saw a tiny little new fan just starting to push up on one of them today. By the norm, we should have just about 1 month exactly of fairly good weather here, but Oklahoma is Oklahoma, so one never knows.......I hope that where you are Matthew doesn't do any harm to your plants or your loved ones. Be safe and thank you for the information...........Maryl P.S. What do you call the stems that hold the flowers on Iris? For instance in Daylilies they are called scapes.
