I received this today. I know most of the standard things to say and
ask. But, this is about the 4th or 5th of these I have gotten this year
(see what happens when you stick your head above the edge of the
trenches?), and I am beginning to think that there must be some (set of)
cultural thing(s) that is(are) going on. In this case my hunch is
herbicide of some sort that may have caused enough genetic damage for
multiple year color changes. ? ! ? I don't know if that makes any sense
at all biologically.
> Question: My iris are blooming profusely this yr. - all white from pale
> blue buds. I KNOW I planted deep blue, apricot, purple, etc. 3-4 yrs.
> ago. After the first yr. they've all bloomed white, both spring and fall.
> Is it a matter of not feeding? (I don't) Would appreciate some input.
> Have I come to the right place? If not, please redirect.
> Many thanks, Nancy Skavish, Pittsburgh, PA.
