Many of you have mentioned planting your more valuable iris in pots

I have done this because most orders arrive before optimal planting season.
This allows them to develop good root systems instead of just drying up in
storage and they hardly notice the transition when they are moved from pots
to beds at the appropriate time in our fleeting fall.
