Hmmmmm, I planted my iris pointing the other way thinking that the
growing end of things would like facing the sun. Any wisdom from those
more experienced than I. Does it make any difference. Maybe having the
rhizome towards the sun is better for anti-rot considerations.

Makes a big difference here, but may not in warmer climates.
We experimented with planting facing west - later bloom and fewer increases.
When the odd plant gets in facing the wrong way, it always performs less well
in my experience.
