Walter,
Up here it always lloks to me like the rhizome is planted in the pot in the previous fall and then sold when enough of them are blooming to represent themselves at local nurseries. What I can't figure out is how they keep them from freezing without burying the pots to where they are flush with the ground here. Usually the pots are full of rhizomes by the time they go to sell.

Maybe things grow differently in WA and OR, but here if you
remove a bloomstalk from the clump while in bloom, there is no
increase on it. Not all irises increase from the bloomstalk, and if
one does, it doesn't start doing it until the bloom cycle is completed.
The increase on a bloomstalk begins to show when you are
snapping out bloomstalks.
As suggested earlier, another fan or the entire clump is dug and
sold at bloom time, not the single bloomstalk - at least as they
grown down south.
