@ woofie Thanks for the link for the trading forum. They all look very serious gardeners though. I will try to post something anyways and see if anybody wants my unnamed Iris. :)
Thanks Jmorth and Tiffany for all the info about bulbs. I will keep in mind the 'bulbs being weedy' when planning the space for them.
Tiffany, I actually did see the flowers before the mowing started. My concern was that the mowing was killing them/not allowing them to store food for next season or something to that effect. If that is not the case then I might just leave them be.
