Re: OT: Dividing versicolors

Edmundas and others,
    This sounds like good advice. I will divide my 'Whodunnit' soon, and
keep an eye on its progress.

At the same time, I can happily report that iris borers are at this point
still unknown or extremely rare in our region. I have only seen one single
specimen in my entire life and have never suspected any damage or symptoms
of them of any kind on my plants.

Let's hope that it stays this way... ;-)
