>>i believe somebody said that england's climate is rot prone as well?
Ian - oh, no! now i can insult hybridizers on two continents! welcome. 160"
of rain? wow. growers in middle and east tennessee with deep clay soils do
not have as much rot as my black excessively drained gravelly soil does. i
met one gardener who usually wins queen of show at their club shows who has
had similar problems in the part of her garden with 'black dirt'.
where are the australians?
Janis - want to swap rot survivor lists? what is your temperature range and
pattern of humidity?
>>>> Wasting Away: I love Janis term for an iris problem ," Wasting Away".
In the south it has the name of "Mulliegrubs".
Doug - i thought wasting disease was tuberculosis, but mulligrubs has a fine
sound to it. i think it may be mollygrubs around here. is this the formally
accepted name? clarence - you seem to keep up with nomenclature....
everybody - should we set up a '90's rot survival checklist? first we would
have to make a rot map of the world....
