I'm reminded of something Graeme Grosvenor (sp?) said in his IRIS
FLOWER OF THE RAINBOW. He plants his rhizomes with the whole thing
slightly buried. And visitors are OFTEN telling him he should leave
the top of the rhizome uncovered. Like they know better?! than one
of the great hybridizers?! Our arrogance knows no end. Me, I'm a
lifelong learner, and hope to know a little more at my death than I
did at my birth. (So far, the results are inconclusive.)
