Mike, I am almost sure you are describing proliferations, which as
Lloyd Zurbrigg stated, are very rare. Since you have more acreage in
irises than most of us, you have a greater opportunity to witness
this strange growth pattern.
Sometime in the 1970's in the AIS Bulletin, Dr. Zurbrigg submitted a
photo of a proliferation on a plant he grew. If we had an index, we
could find it, scan it, and post it. That picture and the plant in
my garden are the only two proliferations I have seen.
The other increase from the bloomstalk is underground and therefore
invisible int he early stages. You can see a proliferation from the
very beginning.
