Re: RE: TB: Edith Wolf. progeny

Hi Betty,
I found a mostly rotton bag of rhizomes at Lowell's. The lady at the counter told me that all the rest had been discarded and that one was missed. They had all rotted. I found one small finger sized piece that was still firm. I was afraid that the rot could be contagious and put it where it is now to keep it well away from any other iris. The small piece recovered quickly and bloomed a stunning bloom stalk in the second year. Last year , the third year, I had 4 blooms stalks two with 11 buds and one with nine for a nice display.  Basically I ignore it. It gets what the rest of the plants in that garden like. It will be interesting to see what it does or doesn't do this year. If an iris doesn't hold it's own here, I do not replace them. Beverly Sills is in that list.

Several years ago, I attributed my first year's success to the rhizome being 
a transplant from CA (Monty Byer's garden), but it WAS on a raised row that 
dried out quickly.  She was close to a tree where she got early morning sun 
until about 11:00 A. M., then shade.  

Betty from BG KY USA Zone 6 who thinks she's spent way too much time trying 
to accommodate both EW and Beverly Sills.
