Tom said <<Apparently many (?most ?all) irises carry virus. The visible
expression of
it depends on the iris's ancestry and the climate and weather.>>
So, what kind of climate and weather makes the virus decloak? I notice Honey
Glazed has a lot of what I think is viral streaking in the falls this year
(yes, I have an IB in bloom - it's about 8-12 inches tall) - so my guess
would be freezing temperatures in bud, low humidity (for east tennessee),
and clear hot days. Is this it?
