Iris pods seem to mature earlier each year. My bloom season is running about
a week earlier than when I lived in Alvaton (12 miles south). But my pods
are maturing three weeks to a month earlier . . . last year and this year.
I began harvesting pods today. They were cracking. One of the most
anxiously awaited pods produced only 17 mature seed with several dozen
immature/aborted seed. A few were half grown but most were no bigger than a
kitten's baby tooth. In hindsight, does anyone think I could have done
something to assure more mature seed? We've had plenty of water this spring
so that shouldn't have been a problem. How about fertilizer? I didn't add
anything after pod set this year.
Anyone?
