Hi - I may be overreaching but I thought the budfly was not in
the soil but it may be. Andy Wheeler and I both had significant
budfly problems in the past. He hybridizes Siberians so it was
much more of a problem. Mine was almost exclusively with
Japanese irises and a very small percantage of the Siberians -
'White Triangles' was a budfly favorite. All of the
irises_infected_with the iris budfly recovered completely and
bloomed normally the following year. This is anecdotal and just
what happened in my garden.
The fly (I will leave out the long nomenclature but it is found
in McEwen's book, 'The Siberian Iris'), is elusive and prefers
apogons but will attack bearded irises if no beardless are
available and I have one TB that I fear may have been infected
by the budfly. Some insect has nibbled a clear hole in two buds
and it looks like the bud is finished but there are plenty of
Siberians around the area which are unscathed so it may not be
budfly.
For sure, post to the Sibrob since this is becoming more of a
problem with Siberians - at least in northern climes.
