The problem: I have too many irises that I purchased/traded in a very short time. My first large orders were only in 2017, then 2018, then a few more in 2019.
The solution: Not an easy answer here... I see many of you are struggling with this one, too. I do need to cull irises, but sometimes I don't know what their performance will be in the third year, and I acquired many in the last two years. So I'll be watching and waiting....
Some of the historics need to grow more in order to donate to HIPS. There are a few that I will eventually remove from this group. And then a few "broken" ones as well. And some irises were bonuses, but they *might* be good breeding material, even if I don't personally love their blooms. Hmmm.
