Iris

The Iris were blooming in May but now they are beginning to look withered and dry. They are beginning to conserve their resources for the coming up winter. This year the Iris did not do very well. It has been about 4 years since they were planted and now they need a lift, literally. I lifted them up and moved them to new spots in the yard. Hopefully, if everything goes well, they will bloom like crazy next spring. I'm looking forward to it because my mother-in-law gave me some new colors to plant.

While I was at it, I lifted, separated and replanted the Siberian Iris that I had growing in the garden. It went from one large clump to 4 smaller ones. It needed a face lift.
