I'm going to keep trying to remember to paste stuff from discussions going on over on Facebook so I can find the information later. Starting to feel like iris-talk has become my private blog :-(
Someone asked about identifying whether or not a dug piece of rhizome is going to be likely to bloom the following year. Chuck shared the info he has collected from others & observed for himself that the average leaf count (including leaf scars from leaves that have already died) on a mature rhizome is 12 to 15.
Rebloomers usually have less, but some have as many as once bloomers - Rosalie Figge has 15. 

The least he remembers hearing about or seeing he thinks is 12.
FB has more immediacy for discussion, but sure stinks for following multiple conversations and/or finding information from earlier discussions.
