Iris's , re-planting?

i dugup my iris's this summer, they were getting crowded.


I want to re-plant them now in the fall. do you think the root will still come up in the spring, even though, they've been out of the ground and in my shed for the summer?

Iris's , re-planting?
I dug some up in the spring one year bcause they were crowded. Planted some of them, tossed some on top of a table outside, and never moved them. The ones I re-planted did just fine. The ones on the table, without benefit of any care, dirt or anything else whatsoever, also came up and bloomed the next spring. So I replanted most of them that summer (August is really the best time), and they continued to do just fine. The ones left on the table for the second year didn't make it.
Reply:Almost for sure. Irises are very hardy, and I have left mine out of the ground for extended periods and they were fine. If the rhizome (the part just below the surface of the soil, looks like ginger) isn't mushy, then they should be okay. Plant them and see what happens.
Reply:Depends on how much the roots have dried out. If all vitality went bye bye, no irises in the Spring. If the roots crack and break, they are too dry. Plant the roots that seem limber and see what happens in Spring. You can always start over. Next time you want to move Iris, cut the stems across after the iris has stopped blooming and is trying to form a seed head. Give them a haircut. Leave about 5 inches of stalk. Now leave them alone until Fall. In the Fall, dig up divide, and replant.
Reply:depends do the bulbs feel normal or do they feel hollow or soft if hollow and soft toss them if they feel normal plant them they may not bloom next year or could lay dormant it never hurts to try
Reply:you can split them and replant but if they are bearded irises ,don't plant them deep or they won't bloom. leave a bit of the rhizomes showing above the soil and just cover the roots. cut the tops back to about 6 inches so that the energy from the plant will be directed to the roots and not the tops that are going to die back anyway.
Reply:Irises need to be broken up every 2-3 years. Break them up %26amp; replant in the fall - I try %26amp; have all my fall planting done by Columbus Day.
Reply:I have a bag full of Iris that my sister in law gave me that's been sitting out on my porch for the past 2 months and they are still green. They are tough little buggers.
Reply:If they show any life at all, they'll probably make it, they're tough. RScott

Iris pattern?
I beleive the dr can perscribe the contacts that change the eye color and If I am not mistaken they are colored to look like the iris. You can visit the eye dr office and ask to see thier lenses and also view the custom made options. I have seen the ones at my eye dr that will turn you eye totally white.

My dog has a cyst on his iris... is that going to be harmful in the future?

We went to the vet a while ago asking about a suspicious black dot in my dog's eye. The vet said it was an iris cyst and it's common in brown-eyed dogs, and it's nothing to be worried about. But since that last visit, the cyst has gotten bigger and it seems like it floats around my dog's eye a little. Will this affect his vision in the future? Should we get it removed?





Here are two pictures of what iris cysts look like:

My dog has a cyst on his iris... is that going to be harmful in the future?
Since it seems to float outside of the eye center-the vision part wouldn't be too concerned yet unless the dog develops several and they'll affect his vision. Any surgery should be done only when necessary for it will more than likely involve anesthesia which although mostly safe always carries a risk-same as in humans. I'd just keep a eye on it and not worry unless you feel its beginning or rather when it will(future) affect the vision.The Vet is actually the best one to ask if it will affect the vision-call him/her up they do not mind answering a question on the phone.
Reply:a cyst is very different from cancer so don't worry about that. could effect his vision, and may cause the eye to drip and tear up a lot as well as dry out. Removal shouldn't cost more than $200 and that would be with a full round of checkup and teeth cleaning (my husband's mother recently had the same problem, got the dog the operation and his teeth cleaned as well as his yearly stuff for that price). Good luck!
Reply:Iris cysts usually cause no symptoms, but in large numbers they can cause glaucoma by obstructing the drainage angle of the eye.

How many Atelier Iris games are there?

I'm confused.. because I thought Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana, was the first Atelier Iris game, but it said something about being the 6th part of the series.. and I just got really confused. Can someone tell me the games that were before it.. or what it means when they say 6th part in the series?

Iris.Mapi Catastrophic Failure?

Iris.Mapi Catastrophic Failure?
_ It sounds like something is corrupt. I recommend uninstalling Office 2003 and reinstalling. Or - pop in the office 2003 CD and select the option to 'repair' your installation.

Iris flowers?

I understand I should "deadhead" my iris after the flowers die. What exactly does that mean and how is it done.Thanks

Iris flowers?
The term dead head means to remove the dead flower. just pull the dead flower out of the stem. This encourages new blooms. A plant will continue to try and nourish anything that is still attached, including dead branches or dead flowers.
Reply:snap the wilted flowers off the stalk. you can just give them a little twist and they come right off.





Good luck!
Reply:You can pop them off right where they join the green stalk or trim with garden shears. Whatever you do, be sure to leave the green foliage! Even though it's not so pretty, it provides food for the bulb under ground, so that it can make big beautiful blooms next year. Take away the foliage too soon and you get not so many flowers next year. You can trim it back when the foliage turns yellow - at that point the bulb is getting nothing from the foliage.

Iris rhizomes?

My iris's have stopped blooming as much as they used to.. They have been in same area for about 8 years. should I dig them up and move them or apply some sort of fertilizer?

Iris rhizomes?
They have grown and multiplied, and now they are crowded. Dig them up, divide them up, give away the rhizomes you don't have room for, and replant about 6 inches apart. Don't fertilize them, they need to acclimate, rather than be prompted into growth. Put some nice organic fertilizer on them in the fall. Make sure to keep them moist (not too wet) after you replant if the weather is dry- they've lost some roots in the transplanting process.
Reply:Don't forget, they don't like to be planted very deep. Report It

Reply:Sounds to me like you need to dig them up and divide them.
Reply:it's good to divide these plants every three years or so! hostas, and daylilies are examples of plants that need the same treatment!
Reply:Dig them up every couple of years they tend to get too deep and then they don't bloom.
