Iris root
Yes, he was stating how this is the perfect time of year to use black walnuts
and such, to use for natural dyes and at the bottom he mentioned picking some
iris root as well and I replyed back to him what exactly it did, and yes it

Harvest the root as you are seperating them for replanting. It takes upwards of 2 years for Iris / Orris root to fully dry, and yes, they have other uses as well as natural dyes.
Jon-some are used as a fixant. Knowing which (color iris) is used for what takes a bit of learning and remembering.
