Can you lift and move them, or are they just too many to do for? Are your
iris a little down-hill from the neighbor's or up - as in if your iris are
higher than theirs, its probably not leaching through the soil into the
roots, might have been transmitted by fumes - ergo its the fans that
received the poison. If your iris are downhill, and the possibility exists
they received poison through their roots/rhyzomes and may already be
gone. Can you find out what they used and how it was applied? If it was a
mist absorbed by the fans - I'd think you could cut the fans to prevent
further transmission to the rhy - but only after you find out if the
substance is indeed toxic to iris.
So sorry to hear of such incidents - more so when I know it is irises that
are threatened. Its noever ditch lilys - is it?
