>Yes! When I first started growing irises back in the 1960's and

iris rhizomes from Gurney's in SD. Each rhizome and fan had been cut
down the middle, leaving a half fan and half rhizome with side
increases. They lived! -Enid Lake,
An Australian bulb company who sell a few TB irises was offering rz's at
1/2 price at their open day last year (in early spring). On closer
inspection these proved to be 1/2 rz's with curled up, pale fans
enclosed in plastic bags. The price was still greater than that offered
by more reputable iris sellers, for the same cv.
This company offers their irises in a glossy coloured catalogue each
year, and sadly, I bought my first few irises from them. Never again!
