Welcome,
What is your name?
Don't worry about your lack of experience. There are lots of novices on
iris-talk. Just be willing to ask questions and share experiences.
In my area (zone 4), I have been digging and planting bearded iris from
mid-July to mid-August -- preferably earlier than later in that time period.
Perhaps to help you out, everyone can list their top 5 performers this year.
You can also check the archives. I started a thread on MUST HAVEs as I was
poring over catalogues in late winter.
