For some reason I haven't had any Iris flowers this year.
Last summer was so hot but they were watered well anyway.
Has anyone else had issues with the Iris's this year.
Everything else seems to be doing pretty well considering the heat we had her in Texas last summer.

Might be Texas or might be planted to deep? The ones I have did well this year in Ohio.

Thanks! Should have mentioned that these are established Iris's in two different locations in the yard.
I keep looking and hoping that maybe they will show up but just late...:-)

Had the same thing here in Nebraska. One of my older iris beds did not bloom. I am thinking they need to be transplanted or thinned out. My newer beds bloomed. Will try to thin them out a little this fall and see what happens next year.

I think it "could" be two things already mentioned....need to be divided and/or the rizomes (sp?) have gotten too much mulch over the tops & need it raked back.
I dug some of my old fashioned ones earlier this year. They had only been in place 3 yrs. but were soooooooooooo bunched together it was almost unreal. I got 2 huge bunches when I dug them out...about the size of old wash tubs. A bunch of gals on here got starts.
