Re: siberian iris

no nono,  don't cut back your sibes.  
a) you may want to start some of those seeds, just for fun. to see what you get.
b) the foliage is one of the joys of the sibes for the rest of the summer.
c) you're correct in thinking that the leaves are necessary for

Gallagher who may be reached at sibrob@ncia.net
Cheers Ginny in Victoria BC where there are still some sibes to bloom and
the JI's are at their best.
