Deeply Rooted
Yay! I'm so glad I found this thread.... I just transplanted some of my Granny's irises and I was worried that I did it at the wrong time of the year, but God just laid it really heavily on my heart two weekends ago so I went with it. My granny practically raised me as her own, because we (including my mom) lived with her since I was a baby. When we bought our house, eight years ago, she wanted me to come get some and transplant them at our house. They were always her favorite and she wanted to share, but I always made excuses that I didn't have time. She passed away in January this year and she never got to see her irises take root at my home. Hopefully she can watch them take root and multiply in my front bed now. @thistlebloom how short do you usually cut them? I wasn't sure how to do it so I just bagged them up with as much root as my shovel could get and planted them in groups just how they came up. She pretty much has a field full of them, so if it takes a couple of tries I don't think it'll hurt her feelings.
