Hello all,
>
> I just bought a house last year and have some plants
> in the yard which I need help identifying. The plant
> itself looks just like my mature agapanthus, with thick, fanning,
> floppy leaves which are a deep green year-round. The reason I think these
may be Iris, is because they have rhizomes.
> None of the plants flowered last year -- I gleaned from
>various books and newsgroups that the plants might need to be separated
(assuming that they are Iris because of the rhizome . . .) This year, the
separated plants are growing like mad, but there are still no signs of
flowers. Does anyone have an idea if these are Iris and when (or if) I can
expect blooms? Is there a way to promote blooms --or coerce them -- as I
have posted before, I'm not patient yet. Thanks!
