Re: Re: CULT: Nebraska summer rot resistance?

Hi Robin,  

I lost Coral Chalice to rot this year too. A number of my other TBs also rotted over the summer, but they did put out some increases before the original rhizomes disappeared.  The replacements look strong and healthy and I'm wondering if these increases will have a better chance of surviving having been "born and raised" here.  Given that any of them live through the winter, I'm hoping that through selection I'll eventually end up with new strains of these TBs that will be more accepting of my zone 4 climate and red clay.  Have others on Iris Talk found that while their original TB rhizomes have died, the increases have eventually become acclimated and prospered?

  I was just about convinced that rot was not too much of a worry 
  here, until last week that is.  I did have a few that rotted earlier-
  notably every clump of Debrenee and most every Coral Chalice.  At 
  least it was just the center, the increases were fine.
