I'm so frustrated with the heavy fogs we've been getting in my part of the  
world!  It makes it difficult if not impossible to work in the  mornings.  The 
fog rolls in right after dark and the foliage stays WET  until almost noon.  
Need to look for the positive!  
 
How much moisture does the iris plant take in through the foliage?  We  
really need rainfall, but I'm thinking, perhaps, the plants aren't as moisture  
starved as one might think?  I worry that it might contribute to rot, but  I'm 
not seeing any.  (except for one plant that got too much MG last year  from a 
leak in a soaker hose.)
