Hey Donald and Cliff,
We're sending some nasty wind your way. My irises have not gone dormant but
snow this week and now the 70 mph winds should make sure that only the
hardist make it through to spring. You know freeze dried, ha, ha. Actually
that isn't that funny. I get something in the spring where the iris will
have lots of actively growing increase and then the whole plant dies crispy
and hard. Does that happen in Texas? What is it caused from?
