Re: CULT: bloom-out


Sometimes I find here that after bloom is too early to tell if it
is really bloomout. I have left the rhizome alone until time to dig, and 
often find several increases that simply have not poked up above the 
surface yet.  I have also replanted what looked to be bloomouts that
have no increases, and the next spring have been rewarded with 
a clump of irises.

There was a large discussion on bloomout last year, with
several solutions. I did not check the archives, but I believe it was
around this time last year if you want to try.
