<<Do animals eat iris pods?>>
 
Deer eat the pods off my TBs.  That's why the pods all wear little  lace 
caps.  
 
The caps have come in handy for protecting the first blooms on the  
rebloomers too.  Didn't want to take chances since I know they ate blooms  in the fall 
of 2004.  Hope their food grows back soon.  
 
Many of the "bee" pods are turning out to be "air" pods.  Apparently  the 
bees were able to stimulate the flower to set pods but didn't carry any  pollen.  
Probably "first" visits??
