EW often does not grow well. Here she can skip blooming
with fair regularity, and increase is not rapid.
I kept trying for several years because I liked her
so much when she did bloom, and once in a while she
would even rebloom. But my space is so limited I had
to let her go. In other places she can have other
faults, but not all the time. She may do much better
next year. And given the right alternation of warm
and cold weather during the growth process of the
stalk, many iris can have the symptoms you described.

A colon after the TB would have met the rules. Adding the cultivar name
would have improved the subject. But don't worry, since you are making
an honest effort you will not get into trouble.
