I love this thread and have been meaning forever to get my 3 I am watching posted: I'll call them
The Good: Thumb of 2016-10-19/GreenIris/ff5fd7 (A Burseen gift named Spring Starter that I just planted this summer - Quite the Chunky Monkey - yes?).
The bad: Thumb of 2016-10-19/GreenIris/12be2f (Going Dotty which I planted this Summer) This isn't bad because the vendor gave me a bad plant but I planted it in an established garden and then forgot I planted it there so I didn't water it for a week or so and get those roots going. The Rhizome is hard so I really hope it makes it. I have waited a long time to see it.
The Ugly: Thumb of 2016-10-19/GreenIris/46dacb (This is Inner Darkness - If you can see it in the middle, It has rot). This also is not the vendors fault. I stepped on this at one point and then at some point the Rhizome got covered with a layer of soil. I was weeding near it one day and reached down and found jelly - Ugg! But I read what someone else posted about just uncovering the rhizome and exposing the rot to the sun. Since it had the increases on the side, this seemed like the best option. And so far, it is doing OK But I am definitely watching...
If you think there is no more beauty left in the world...Plant a garden!!!
