What cause of death?
Fungoid infection?

Started growing early, then came hard frost and I again covered them and below was too wet - so... followed fungal problems. Today I'm harvesting all what left and will change soil and will replant without watering up to late autumn.

Two new flowers today,
Iris acutiloba x barnumae and
a mysterious plant, grown from seed Iris iberica ssp.iberica from botanical garden Tbilisi.
Is this a hybrid and who is the father?

My onco's seriously suffered this season. They were too wet in winter and started rotting. So I had no other choice that to replant them all although it happens in blooming time, but I hope that most will alive. Many vety difficult to grow were lost at all but suffered even such which I regarded as easy - sprengeri. But it bloomed below cover this winter. Surprisingly well flowered I. afganica. Good survivors were sari and manisadjiany and surprisingly well alived meda, ewbankiana and some others. Almost lost were various ibericas and seriously suffered paradoxa, too. So here flower of Iris manisadjianii made before replanting and bed with newly replanted Irises (onco).

[arillady]

Janis I do hope that the remaining arils survive for you. Love manissadjianii.
