In response to the iris turning white: from personal experience with our
county spraying herbicides next to some of our stock beds, certain
herbicides will turn iris white. The herbicide application can occur in
the winter and it will still affect the spring bloom stalks. Usually the
bloom is somewhat deformed and a little thicker than a usual bloom, the
bloom does return to "normal" the following year.
