Sorry for the mistake Diane as I was referring to Tall Bearded. As for
Pacific Coast Iris you are right. They are almost disease free although
some will show a little rust in some climates.

(Details please!  Do you mean to say this this stuff will prevent and reverse
leaf spot on bearded irises?????  Tell me how I can get some!
>Kathy Guest

Kathy, what I said is that it is preventing and stopping in my garden. I
grow thousands of plants and they have been through snow (yes at the ocean
in California) lots of rain, and 70 degree heat in the last month. I have
grown iris for many years and never seen anything like it. No leaf spot!
Testing for more than one year and in other areas will have to be done to
confirm this. We love to snorkle and have never seen leaf spot under the
ocean!

I will be following Colin Rigby's practice of Spring shipments. I don't
believe anyone else does.

Maxicrop is 100% kelp. There are different suppliers. I have noticed though
that some have different percentages of dilution so I don't know if they
would all work. Sprayable powders may be the sane.

My seedlings will typically bloom the following year if they are planted in
the ground in early spring.

Boy, you geeks sure keep me busy. It's 6:30 and I haven"t even had brakfast
yet.
