Irises: Iris Diseases? Or....?, 1 by Pagancat

First, I gotta say - the pictures on this forum are incredible - I can only hope to one day grow some of the plants you all have posted here - they make my mouth water. I was looking around to see if my topic had been addressed and passed a half hour, just gaping.

Equally gorgeous in bloom are some of the plants I got from the Iris co-op last fall; I think it was from the show in Washington or Oregon? I ordered 5 or 6 different types and couldn't be more pleased with the blooms I've had so far.

The problem I'm having is on the foiliage. There are some plants that have yellow vertical streaks with brown centers,. I don't know a darn thing about Iris other than not burying them - is there anything that they're susceptible to, and if so, is it easily treated with preferably non-toxic substances? Or could it be my soil? I have rocky, clay soil and we have had a pretty wet spring here in Tennessee.

Thanks in advance for any help. Please let me know if a photo would help?
