The stalks are starting to pop. With all the rain, I expect a long and
productive bloom season. Epicenter, Select Circle, Rock Star, Persian
Berry, Chosen One, Mulled Wine, Stage Lights, Double Dribble, Silk Brocade,
Mesmerizer, Cloud Ballet, and lots more are showing stalk formation. Still
early, but the wonders are on the way!
So are early signs of some horrible infection. Only about a dozen leaves so
far on various iris within a 6-ft. radius. It's not leaf spot. It hits on
the top 1/2 of fans, a soft rotting blotch that turns the leaf to discolored
mush as it spreads. Anything with any sign of it gets tossed; if scissors
are used (well below the infected area) they are scrubbed before touching
anything else. What is it and how to prevent? Don't know if it's bacteria
or fungus. I've seen it before; Fung-away, Fungiguard, Funginex, and
Agristrep don't help. Dry weather does. I hope it ain't coming after me
this year.
