  Hi all,

  Well here it is July 9th, already. Next weekend will be dividing 1/3 of the irises in the garden. Most references suggest that the dividing should be done mid-August or later, however do mine a month early for 2 reasons. 1 - usually its milder and less humid in July than in August in southeast Michigan, and 2 - proreacting to the possibility of an early arriving winter prefer the divided irises have an extra 30 days to resettle. 

  Should anyone in iris-talk like to read articles on the Internet regarding dividing irises, try these:
