Flor da Calçada

I had a white iris growing on my Glendon garden that quit producing flowers. I'm curious about why this happened. The soil was right, damp, and the light conditions right--although it did grow at the shadier end of the garden. The other Japanese irises spread from the middle, their roots growing out from the center of the clump. Eventually they have a hole in the middle of the clump. They are easy to divide, just dig up the roots and make new plantings.
