Mike - I enjoyed seeing the nice photosequence of iris-borer on the
World Iris website. Any chance of adding a photsequence of this dread
disease? I'm not sure I know what it looks like, tho recognize it by
it's lack of dreadful stench in contrast to soft rot. Is this what I
call "post deluge after long drought in the summer" rot? Often
accompanied by streaky orangy-brown & yellow outer leaf damage?
Also, I'd really be interested in hearing which recently introduced
cultivars you notice seem to be able to escape damage without doctoring,
if any.

bring them indoors.
