I'm a new iris grower; just picked up some rhizomes last year at a local
Iris Society sale. One pink TB appeared to develop some holes in the
exposed rhizome (borer??), but made it through winter and I thought it
was doing OK though not blooming this year. Alas! The foliage was
turning yellow, so on closer investigation yesterday I noticed that the
rhizome had mushy areas and the fan was breaking off at the rhizome. Is
this the dreaded rot I keep reading about? Everybody else (about six TB
white irises and one blue [Ft. Bragg] is fine.
Thanks for any input!
