Iris Accordians: What Caused It?

Posted by: Alison O'Connor, Larimer County Extension

As I was mulching my front yard a couple weekends ago, I noticed this funny growth pattern on my iris. But it was only on a couple of the leaves....specifically, the third oldest leaf on each plant. Both plants are near my west-facing front door.

Iris "wrinkles"
What do you think caused this? No Googling!

Iris "elastic bands"
In a few days, I'll post (what I think is) the answer. Submit your comments below!
