bud worms

20 years ago

I have always had good blooms on my iris in the past except for one bout with root borers when I lost a beautiful magenta variety. Today, I was wondering why the buds were taking so long to bloom and had brownish papery tips on them, and on closer examination found some buds to have soft oozy contents in the tips, and looking inside found some small white worms inside. Anyone know what these are or what to do about them? I checked the flower stalks and there were no tunnels in them, so I guess they entered by the tops. Maybe it's because of the long cool late spring we are experiencing here. I couldn't find anything in the FAQ about this. Thanks for your help.
