Transplant question

Hello again.  My brains sweated out while I was transplanting the 100 or so
(or so it seemed when the back of the truck was full) irises this weekend,
so I may be less than gramatically correct today.  I went over Sat and dug
up 3 large areas from the rent house.  (Dont get attatched to plants there,
they killed 4 yearling dogwood trees, 2 apple trees and most of the
perennials by not watering)  I got about 3/4 of them in Sun and will do the
rest tonight.

My question is:  some of the rhisomes, that went in last fall, bloomed this
spring, were HUGE!  I mean like potato size.  I have never seen such size or
shape, being used to the long, thick, bloated "cigar" shaped ones.  Are
these a normal growth, or are they just bizzare like everything else here in
Bubbaville?
They are healthy, no rot, no borers, just round and huge.

I got Sharon McAllisters list of Arilbreds Sat, that kept me busy for the
evening trying to recover from the heat and humidy while digging.  I still
kick myself for not knowing she was in my own town, growing IRISES like
CRAZY!!!  I will one day make an appointment, next time I'm back (still have
a rent house there too).  I wish I hadnt promised not to order any more
plants this year....

Still punchy from the heat, waiting and praying for rain...
