CULT: TB: Is this Rot?


I appreciate your generous answers to my questions. Here is a new one:

I have a transplant that is in a pot. I have discovered that the middle 
portion of this long rhizome is "mushy" to the touch, as if there is jelly in it. I 
am assuming that this is the infamous "rot" I'm discovering for the first 
time [?] 

On either side of this long rhizome is good healthy looking growth. So I am 
wondering if this rot will work its way into the "good ends" of the rhizome. 
Should I cut the middle portion out with a sharp knife? Or should I leave it 
alone and hope the strong parts develop on their own?

This is a pretty purple iris (don't know the variety) from my mom's garden, 
and I would like to see it bloom come spring. I'd appreciate your input.

Thanks,
Mike in SC
