    Last fall I dug and moved all of my Iris to a new place in the yard. Full sun and lots of it, Amazing to see! Some I traded for as well. Please Have a look and please Enjoy the Iris.

    Oh! Oh! Oh! What a fantastic collection of Iris. You have made my morning. You have so many iris, I was wondering about the overall blooming time. About how long you do you have your iris blooming?

    Just beautiful.... I love iris... Only have a few varieties but they make me smile. Yours did too!

    Do you interplant anything with them to bloom later on? I've got monarda in one bed and rudbeckia in another...

    Any other ideas?

    Thank you all! They seem to really like there new home.
    Did not know I had so many till I went to moving them. Some I have bought and some I traded for others were sort of borrowed from abandoned places around here, LOL
    Going to do another bed as well, with lots of historic Iris. Check back now and then to see the new ones that bloom. So far they have been blooming for a month and still have lots to go. I have inter planted them with dayliy and other lilies.

    Eye-popping gorgeous! I especially liked the dark "maroon" ones.
