I dug some irises yesterday and thought it might be fun to show 
comparisons in their roots & rhizomes.

The first one is a Louisiana Iris called "My Friend Dick".  Just look 
at the growth that can occur in just one season!  This is probably 
THE MOST vigorous Louisiana I've grown to date.

The second one is an Iris x robusta "Cast Ashore".  The sheer 
quantity of roots makes it hard to clean for shipping.  I'm guessing 
the root production was a sign it was happy?

The third one is Iris virginica var. shrevei.  Unfortunately the 
photo does not quite convey just how hairy the rhizomes are.
