The two irises that bloomed out on me that I vividly remember were NICHE and SECRET RECIPE. And it's so sad because you get such a beautiful bloom cycle just before, and I guess that just exhausts the plant. But I remember that a few years ago a friend dug up and gave me her HELLO DARKNESS because she wanted to dispose of it, and I divided the clump and gave rhizomes to a few people, and a few of them had absolutely no increase but had the remnants of a stalk, but I gave them away anyway -- and later they developed increase and carried on! So I recommend that if you really, really want the rhizome that has bloomed out, give it several months to a year to see if it will increase later on. I have to get rid of (give away) many plants each year to make room for all the new ones I've ordered, so I usually just dispose of any that have bloomed out now.
