Iris looks sad

[jordung1]

Hello Everyone
This past weekend it rained for a few days nonstop. The result was soggy flowers and buds. I never had this happen before where and how do do I remove the flowers and buds?

Greetings, welcome to the Forums.

There is no need to immediately remove the flowers. Wait a day to see if they recover. Buds will likely have a better chance to emerge unscathed than open flowers. Whatever is permanently damaged can cut them off when convenient.
Depending on the type of Iris, individual flowers usually last a week or less, even in mild, dry weather.
