Re: minimal petals

Jim (and others)

When I had my disaster with Roundup this is what the blossoms did.  I
sprayed them when the stalks were emerging and, although I was careful, I
thought, not to get the spray on the iris, the blooms looked like they were
blasted.  Simple question:  did they spray with Roundup or some such near
the Iris?
