There is a group of irises that I didn't get around to removing the bloomstalks from this spring, and with the billion rains we have had this year those stalks are slimey/rotty and also the rhizomes. I would say it is the first priority in iris care in a wet year. Average years I have noticed some of this, but it doesn't seem to be a do or die thing. On the other hand, my daylilies are doing wonderfully with all the rain!
