Re: CULT: Unknown worm infestation in rhizomes


I have had an unusual, for me at least, occurance in two of the pots of iris 
held here
for our Christmas in Sept.    Two of the same variety started rotting from 
the leaf down, and when I cut off the leaves to try to stop the rot, I found 
what looked to me just like corn ear worms.   I killed them, cut the leaves 
back to the rizome, and sprinkled the cut with with Comet.   This is the 
first experience I have had with worms in bearded (or any other kind) of 
iris.   Might this be your worm?
