I don't know if plants such as iris would function the same way as the human body does, but I do know that it isn't true for humans that taking huge doses of vitamins is harmless. With some vitamins the body will, indeed, just take what it needs and excrete the excess, but with others the excess is not excreeted but is kept in the body with detrimental effects. If that is true for iris it means that the wisest policy (apart from the waste of money and the possible bad effects on the soil or the water that runsoff with the excess fertilizer) simply to pour on the fertilizer and expect the rhizome to flourish.
