It may not be a diploid that is over running her irises. I'm sure that a
single atom of NEW SNOW (the iris, not that stuff that falls from the
sky) would rapidly grow and take over from many of my Cv's if given 1/2
a chance. It will be very difficult to dissect out all of the tiny bits
of white rz's too. I remember someone on the list (ages ago) saying that
they shredded their unwanted irises, composted them, then used the
compost for mulch. Bingo! - tiny iris plants growing everywhere!
>Or.... we could tell her that growing daylilies leeches all the color
out of irises (:
I vote we do that!! Leave it for the Hem peoples to explain that we were
only pulling her leg. :-)
Jan Clark, in Australia, looking forward to the garden show in Melbourne
in 2 weeks time, and perhaps some cheap rz's from Barry Blyth's stand at
the show. (To add to the far-too-many-already)
