Hello from Texas,
	Sounds like your garden is a wonderful place!
	Could you give a new iris fan a little help?  We've had twice our
normal rain this year. What can be done for root rot if anything?My beds
are raised about 12 inches. This is the first time I've seen it in my
iris'. This is the first time I've tried to grow iris other than the no
name varity that comes from the discount stores. always had pretty good
luck with those.
	Thanks for any help you could give me,
	J Stocks
