Gorgeous!!! Two of the iris that I moved here a couple of months ago are going to bloom soon. I figured for sure that they wouldn't bloom until next year, so I'm feeling really lucky! We have a sort of gully on part of our property that we're using for a compost area, and I found a bunch of iris there when I was dumping in some weeds on our last trip here, and they are now blooming. I'll try to remember to get a picture tomorrow, but they are a beautiful dark purple, like the first picture in the bottom row above. I was so happy to see them blooming! It's a very strange place that they are in, so I'll move them when they get done blooming.
I hate dividing iris. But they grow so much that eventually one has to do it. I Made such a mess of that driveway side iris garden that I moved last year. Good thing Rio Rojo is not in there or I wouldn't be touching it. Anyway, I am not going to divide it, just find a piece I can pry off. No big deal.
