Hi Janet,
This is what I treated last year with Bayer Fungus
Control.  Only worse.

Thanks Anner!

Any and all opinions are welcome.  I've been
haunting the Iris Talk 
Archives all summer and from everything I've read,
I'm assuming my 
irises have fungal leaf spot.  But since the
disease hasn't responded to 
any of the fungicides I've used so far, it made me
wonder if maybe I'm 
fighting bacterial leaf spot instead.  We had a
very wet early spring 
followed by a severe drought and then more heavy
rains about a month 
ago.  It was after the late summer rains that this
began to show up in 
earnest. Though there were traces of the spots
during the drought, the 
leaf tips did not begin to turn brown until after
the rains resumed. 
The past three years have produced the same
weather conditions and the 
same damage to the iris leaves. Here are some
photos of typical damage:
