Re: RE: CULT: Early Season

Any thoughts (based on experience, please) on whether one ought to set a pod on a plant which is showing no increase? -- Griff

Pat, I'll predict that you won't lose any of them.  In my garden I very
rarely lose any iris to bloomout (lots of other causes, yes, but not
bloomout).  Even if every fan in a clump blooms in the same season, the
clump will almost certainly grow new tiny increases later in the season
if you're patient.  Just don't dig and toss the plants before you give
them a chance to increase.

Iris gardening is usually a waiting game.
