    Lot of people said they dug their iris up. And threw away.Didn't bloom for them.Think must have planted them too deep.And they did not bloom long enough.I wish mine did -bloom longer. But still enjoy all the colors. And some said had iris Bores. Lucky all healthy.

    The Irises here did pretty well for the most part, if they got some water during the drought.
    I have been doing a heck of a lot of cutting down, digging and dividing them this fall for many of my customers.
    It is time consuming to cut them all down, I like doing it by hand so they look OK.
    They are such lovely flowers!
