Hi Tammy,
Regarding the washed out fans, I am thinking that it *may* be crown rot. I
only say this because I just lost a TB to this for the first time. I had
noticed the central leaves getting very creamy colored and when I touched them
I could see there was rot clear down into the rhizome. Get out there and
eyeball them a little bit. Push on the rz to see if there is any mush. This
is merely a guess on my part. It may be something totally different or it may
be nothing at all. Good luck.
Regarding borers, rest easy. I don't believe they are found in your area but
someone
will be sure to correct me if I'm wrong here. I had once heard (don't know if
this is true) that they are not found west of the Rockies. Thank goodness.
They are disgusting and very damaging to iris. I have had (knock on wood)
very limited problems with them thus far.
