 far, none of mine.

Hi, Rima.  Since I posted my "explanation," Lois Rose (I think) posted one
about freeze damage when the stalks are just forming.  This could also be it,
I suppose.  It has struck my garden, now, and a meticulous inspection of the
rotted areas showed no visible bug bites, etc. So I think that is also a good
possibility (cold wx damage).  Mine are showing all KINDS of it--twisted,
stunted stalks, malformed flowers, aborted stalks and buds--very, very, sad.
 -----OFF to meeting today; demo on how to "groom" and prepare irises to
show--using my sad specimens.   Have a good day!  Dorothy
