Three weeks ago i planted iris bulbs into pots with compost ,they've started to come up but something seems to be eating the shoots any ideas on what pests like irsi and how do i stop this.
Iris bulbs?
deer and rabbits love the shoots
moles love to eat the bulbs
try ammonia and water with a few drops of baby shampoo
put it in a spray bottle and give them a shot every couple of days
Reply:Probably caterpillars, could be beetles. Disyston sprinkled on the dirt and watered in -- very effective systemic insecticide, Iris really prefer to be in the ground. good luck.
Reply:Sprinkle Seven Dust on foliage. It is a white powder that kills this type thing. rain washes it away of course so sprinkle again after it is washed away.

Iris by Goo Goo Dolls?
I love the song Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls but what exactly is that song talking about??
Iris by Goo Goo Dolls?
The song was written for the soundtrack to the movie City of Angels, and is in reference to the love of Nicolas Cage's angelic character for Meg Ryan's mortal character.....he wants her to know who he is ....an angel, but at the same time, the world cannot see him, for obvious reasons....the lyrics really speak for themselves, and it's a fabulous song, in fact the entire soundtrack is worthy of purchase, and features great songs by Sarah McLachlan and Alanis Morissette just to name a few. ;)
Reply:about some guy and how the world doesnt treat him right aand every body judges him thus 'i dont want the world to see me coz i dont think think that they'll understand'
Reply:No idea but i love TGGD!!!!!!!!!!
Reply:not too sure but you could probably find it if you googled it. it is such a good song.
Reply:Songfacts: You can leave comments about the song at the bottom of the page.
Lead singer Johnny Rzeznik wrote this. He had a terrible case of writer's block before coming up with this. He even went to a psychiatrist for help.
This is about a person with an invisible identity who no one understands. Then, he finds true love. He wants his true love to know that he exists and that she is the only person in the world who can understand and love him - hence the last line, "I just want you to know who I am." The title means this is how I see you and me and everyone. (thanks, Britney - Calabasas, CA)
This was featured in the Nicolas Cage movie City Of Angels.
This was nominated for Grammys in the categories Song Of The Year, Record Of The Near, and Best Pop Performance By Duo Or Group. It didn't win any of them.
One of the instruments used is a mandolin.
The Goo Goo Dolls performed this in Madison Square Garden as part of the "Concert For New York" to raise money for victims of the 2001 terrorist attacks.
In Greek mythology, Iris was the god messenger who left her messages in a rainbow. (thanks, Rebecca - Clayton, GA)

Iris leaves turning yellow?
i planted iris seedling and the leaves are turning yellow and the plants generally look sick. does anyone know what's wrong with it? too much water? not enough water? sun issues? i don't get it...
Iris leaves turning yellow?
most likely fungus
Reply:We're both talking September, right?
They do that.
It's that time of year.
If your iris were a brilliant (well, brilliant for iris, anyway) green,
I;d worry that you had some sort of extraterrestrial/supernatural clone. But yours sounds like it's doing just what should be expected.
Reply:did you plant them to deep , when you plant an iris you never cover the crown of the bulb
Reply:It's time for irises to die now, anyway. They bloom in the spring/early summer... I think it's part of the normal lifecycle.
Reply:Nothing is wrong with it. It's natural. It's time for Iris to go die off(It'll turn yellow and then brown and dry up.) and you'll see the new growth come up in early next spring. No worry!
Reply:sounds like it may be too much water and not the right amount of sun

can anyone tell me what Iris by the goo goo dolls means? or what you decipher it to be? thanks.
Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls?
The song was written for the movie City of Angels by Johnny Rzeznik after a few months of writers block and giving up the band and writting and everything in only one hour! It was totally amazing. The song follows along with the movie perfectly, the man is an angel and even though he is immortal and lives in a perfect world, he falls in love with a mortal and the only downside is that he can't feel her, he doesn't have the sense of touch. He gives his immortality to be with the woman. He falls from Heaven and they live happily ever after, until one day later she gets run over by a truck and dies. But he beleives it was worth it to become mortal because one moment with her was all he needed. It's a beautiful song, it demonstrates true love even though the world doesn't always understand it. The Goo Goo Dolls are my favorite band ever and I'm glad that you are interested in their music, it all means so much!
Reply:this is such a good song and very meaningful Report It
Reply:Aww, pshh.....Every single time I hear it I think of Buffy and Angel from BtVS, because a lot of people used the song in fanvids............*sings along*
Reply:Rzeznik found the word and definition of "Iris" in a magazine and found it fitting to be the song's title because of similarities in its lyrical theme. Prior to this, some fans of the song have speculated that the title refers to the Greek messenger of the gods, Iris. This is thought supposedly because some angels are considered messengers and this song was written for the movie City of Angels (in which the main character is an angel).

Iris Googoo dolls meaning?
what is the meaning of the song Iris by Googoo dolls? thanks
Iris Googoo dolls meaning?
johny rzeznik named the song after his girlfriend iris because he couldnt think of a name.......he wants the girl in the sng to know who he really is while hes hiding his real himself and showing her someone her.......he thinks that it is very confusing for the rest of the world..so he will lnly show himself to his girlfriend, even though he knows they will break up...confusing? iknow.....im kinda like obsessed with GGD so any questions..you know who to ask.........hoped this helped
Reply:I think if was the name of a singer Johnnie's mom used to listen to.
Reply:Its about lost love. Or more about Love in general. Just like in the movie in which the song was used City of Angels. The person he's singing about in the song probably is unaware of how much she means to him or just how special she truly is. "your the closest to heaven that i'll ever be"...He probably thinks the world of her, and she's like an angel to him the most sweetest and beautiful thing in the world. And he has only a limited time on this earth to show her that.

Iris recognition?
i need all the help i can get in iris recognition theory and hardware plzzzzzzzz
Iris recognition?
The basic idea is pretty simple. Take a close-up picture of the eye, with the pupil contracted most of the way. Draw a circle around the pupil, half-way between the inner and out edge of the iris. As you move around that circle, measure the pattern of light and dark at several hundred evenly spaced points. For convenience, identify the darkest point as -1 and the lightest as +1, and scale all brightness levels in between. Store the measurements for each person of interest. It's best to use an infra-red camera, because that detects the patterns better in people with dark irises.
To use recognize a person by iris recognition, repeat the measurement on the person who requests authorizaton. Perform a circular correlation between the new set of measurements and the stored value. If the maximum value of the correlation is above your chosen threshold, then assume that you have correctly identified the person.
Hardware: an IR camera able to take closeups of the eye, and a PC for doing arithmetic.
Hard parts: deciding how many measurements you need for each iris, deciding what threshold to use for deciding whether the person in front if you is who he claims to be. Lots of stats involved here.

Iris's , re-planting?
i dugup my iris's this summer, they were getting crowded.
I want to re-plant them now in the fall. do you think the root will still come up in the spring, even though, they've been out of the ground and in my shed for the summer?
Iris's , re-planting?
I dug some up in the spring one year bcause they were crowded. Planted some of them, tossed some on top of a table outside, and never moved them. The ones I re-planted did just fine. The ones on the table, without benefit of any care, dirt or anything else whatsoever, also came up and bloomed the next spring. So I replanted most of them that summer (August is really the best time), and they continued to do just fine. The ones left on the table for the second year didn't make it.
Reply:Almost for sure. Irises are very hardy, and I have left mine out of the ground for extended periods and they were fine. If the rhizome (the part just below the surface of the soil, looks like ginger) isn't mushy, then they should be okay. Plant them and see what happens.
Reply:Depends on how much the roots have dried out. If all vitality went bye bye, no irises in the Spring. If the roots crack and break, they are too dry. Plant the roots that seem limber and see what happens in Spring. You can always start over. Next time you want to move Iris, cut the stems across after the iris has stopped blooming and is trying to form a seed head. Give them a haircut. Leave about 5 inches of stalk. Now leave them alone until Fall. In the Fall, dig up divide, and replant.
Reply:depends do the bulbs feel normal or do they feel hollow or soft if hollow and soft toss them if they feel normal plant them they may not bloom next year or could lay dormant it never hurts to try
Reply:you can split them and replant but if they are bearded irises ,don't plant them deep or they won't bloom. leave a bit of the rhizomes showing above the soil and just cover the roots. cut the tops back to about 6 inches so that the energy from the plant will be directed to the roots and not the tops that are going to die back anyway.
Reply:Irises need to be broken up every 2-3 years. Break them up %26amp; replant in the fall - I try %26amp; have all my fall planting done by Columbus Day.
Reply:I have a bag full of Iris that my sister in law gave me that's been sitting out on my porch for the past 2 months and they are still green. They are tough little buggers.
Reply:If they show any life at all, they'll probably make it, they're tough. RScott
