Just being here must be disturbing <g>. This was growing well until we
went a few weeks without rain, followed by a good soaking rain, when it
rotted away. Have any other listers had problems with irises that rot
after rain following dry spells and found a solution? My soil is
gravelly, in slightly raised beds and excessively well-drained, so
drainage isn't the problem. Walter, you once mentioned that you thought
you had more rot after using alfalfa pellets? Maybe if I watered it
every day so it never was in dry soil? My gravelly loam is naturally
high in organic matter - maybe if I planted it in some other less
organic soil? While I don't generally coddle irises, this one is so
pretty I sure would like to see it bloom.

what is this cold white stuff that keeps falling out of the sky every
few days?
