Not a chance. I'm at that stage of summer where plants are dying
from heat and lack of water, including some irises. Unfortunately
this stage means that extra supplemental watering will help some
irises, but will cause others to die overnight. I'm never sure exactly
what to do. What most of my irises need right now is shade; lots
of it since cooler weather is not likely. I can't provide that, so am
stuck in the usual summer quandary of how best to take care of
those being blasted by the sun and heat.
Post also reminds me of two areas not covered in the school posts -
rebloomers and Siberians. Will address those later. May be a
sure symptom of having too many irises.

there.
