I cleaned my clumps again this past weekend, to remove any dead leaves,
and check for rot. Everything seemed fine on most clumps, though the
fans seemed a bit small but maybe I'm just impatient ;-)
I found three rotted cultivars: FANCY TALES, LIGHTNING STREAK (treated
back in late December with sulfur dusting, rot continued) and one poor
little tiny rhizome with no name.
I have treated them all with Comet and will replant in mostly sand to
see if that helps.
One question: by poking around on my rhizomes to check for softness, my
fingernails may have scratched them a bit. Is this like an insect
wound? Do you all just not touch the rhizome, wear gloves, or cut your
fingernails real short?
