RE: CULT:how much is too much water

Hi,
When we went to Scheiner's with the Portland
Convention in 2004 they had huge irrigation
sprayers at work on the Iris fields.  You know or
maybe you don't, the kind they use for crops such
as peas and carrots and such.

Subject: [iris] CULT:how much is too much water

I received the following email from a friend in
Albuquerque NM.  Since I am unfamiliar with the
climate & I am certainly no expert with iris, I
was wondering if any of you can give her some
advice & I will forward it to her.

I have a question and cannot find the answer so
knew you would have it,   I 
never watered my iris a lot in Ne. and had
beautiful, healthy ones.   Ours here 
had very few blooms and look bad.  In fact the
ones I brought only one of them bloomed.  Dave
waters a lot and of course the flowers are
included in that, I think he is over watering and
that is the reason most of the iris look so 
bad and have not done that well this year.
Please give me some input on the 
care of them.    Thanks.
