Nancy, you have the most heartfelt sympathy. That happened to me last year
-- and the year before i had replanted EVERYTHING because it was needed --
and I had hoped to relax for at least 2 summers! The infestation was a big
surprise but it was virulent. Many years ago a young member of our Society
said one should never give a neighbor any irises because they don't look
after them as you would --In this case I was not guilty, but the irises were
-and I am afraid are - in a friend's garden, ''''it was devastating both for
the iris and for me! I'm glad to say it is better this year, but---one
always wonders when the axe wull fall again! Good Luck == I ddidn't get
finished replanting until Novmber! Rosalie nr Baltimore zone 7 where we are
dying from the heat and the garden is drying up ryfigge@aol.com
