CULT: Iris cristata


My Iris cristata has finally emerged from its winter sleep, but the little
rhizomes are naked! Should I cover them with a little earth or leave them
exposed.  I. cristata has a hard time surviving up here in the frozen north,
I've lost several named varieties in the past.  This particular plant is a
survivor, 3 yrs, this past winter was very hard, lots of things heaved out
of the ground including this little iris.

Most everything else is ok, my collection of named but label-less dwarfs and
intermediates are showing green, now the long wait for blooms!
