Take a leaf blower to your iris beds and keep the leaves off the bulbs. Irises love to have their roots near the top and don't like to be smothered. (It can make the roots turn to mush and you'll lose your beauties!) I'd be careful with the cloth around the bulbs, also - again they like to have their tubers at or even above ground level. There is a wonderful resource through www. schneidersgardens. com - they even have YouTube videos! I wish you and your irises lots of sunshiney days!
