I'm feeling left out! I live about 1.5 hours away from Rob and 2.5 hours away from Sherry. As of 3 days ago I didn't have a single stalk forming and many of my irises are very small...just getting started. I wonder if the warm winter and the lack of water last summer have 'stunted' them.
I asked Rick and Roger about fertilizing and they said they do it about mid February. I'm going to pick up some more fertilizer from them early next week and treat my plants in hopes that it will give them a boost!
