There are lots of questions asked, some of which become lost in picture presentations etc. I chose SPATHE since there were some questions and explanations on other threads. Just happens some of my oldies are about to bloom. They have a different spathe than the newer irises. To me, in simple terms, the spathe is the covering of the bloom before it expands into the beginning of a blossom. Spathe of an old noid I have planted in a temp bed.
