Re: OT-BIO Diane Buchanan

  My name is Diane Buchanan I live in Fort Lauderdale, Fl.  I was raised in 
Michigan and have always loved irises, however when I moved to Fl. I found 
out I had To give up the idea of having them here. About 5 years ago I came 
across the LA iris in a magazine artical.  I think it may have been Better 
Homes and Garden magazine. I finally found some about 6 months ago at a local 
garden store.   After planting one on a trial bases, I was disappointed when 
it started to turn brown and seemed to die. two months later it suddenly came 
back to life and  tripled in size. It had such nice blooms that I went out 
and bought three more.  The three new plants are now turning brown and 
looking as though they are going to die.  I will hope that if they come back 
as the first plant did. Does anyone have any suggestions what might be going 
on with these plants.  Ther are no bugs, no black or white spots.  Just 
browning of the leaves. I have added to my soil compost, peat moss, and 
manure.  

    Mark I was in Dunnellon a few years ago to judge a firematics competion. 
If you have any information on the LA iris in Florida I would appreciate any 
help you can give me.
