Try searching for pineappling not pineapple

one relevant response:

On the iris-photos list there is a picture of pineappling:

Pineappling generally happens in the spring during the growth period. If your irises have only been in the ground for 6-8 weeks and the weather has been hot, they may not have set their new root systems very well yet. Ass resilient as irises are I would expect that (excluding a bad rot or other disease problem) they would recover but perhaps not bloom too well next spring.

Hello irisarians far and wide!

(not that you are overweight, yaknowhatImean)
My name is Dan Asmus, and I live in Joplin, MO -- I guess that's zone 6a.
I used to garden irises in St Paul, MN, and appreciated your collective good advice and encouragement, but that was over four years ago, and I've been 
out of it recently.
In August, I transplanted a total of 208 iris rhizomes into a patch that was largely grass, by using a mantis tiller to rip open the ground, and a lot of grass has comeback, so I have a lot of tending to do, but my main concern is 
that about two-thirds of them are stunted growth--I think I saw this
described as "pineapple", but could find no reference in the archives when 
searching that word.

Can anybody tell me what I might be able to do for these plants?

Thanks in advance
Dan Asmus, Joplin, MO
