   My very healthy iris has decided to throw up one single flower spike. Any ideas? Why would it not want to flower? #flowers #gardening #horticulture

     @Irisfreundin it's only been in for 4 years. Only top dressed with home made compost.

     @CloudyMrs How long does it sit on the same place? And how did you fertilize it (the ratio of: nitrogene, calcium, phosphate, sodium, magnesium, sulfur)?

     @CloudyMrs Here is a thing I found on-line:

     "Divide your Irises every 3 to 5 years. With age, Iris rhizomes get crowded and entangled and they won’t bloom as well."

     I don't know, of course, how long you've been growing the irises at that spot.

     My search term was "iris blooming alternation"

     @tg9541 it's only been in for 4 years. Will split it this autumn though. Hopefully it blooms better next year.
