Love those irises Debra. Ann the sawzall is a great recommendation. If you are working with a lot of branches etc, try and get the 4.0 amp hour rated batteries. They last a lot longer than the 1.5 ah and 2.0 ah batteries. Menards had the Milwaukee version on sale last week. The ad didn't specify, but I believe it was the low ah battery for that price which also included a drill and a flash light for sixty dollars.
