Re: Re: CULT: rain and death (was Changing Seasons)

Hi Linda

I was looking through my records of irises purchased to see if I could find a reference to
Chinese Treasure (I couldn't) .....and I think I haven't been paying much attention - I can't
believe the numbers of irises I have purchased and I have no idea what happened to them.

What exactly is the problem with the heavy rains.....do the irises rot or do they just
melt away ?

cultivars here.  In the past, that has been especially true for some
Blyth cultivars I've tried (not to pick on B - true for selections from
many other hybridizers selecting in dry summer climates).
