Subject: Re: Transplanting

Well, now I'm confused!  I was told by several members, John Jones, and
Celia, that now was a good time to transplant.  2 months after blooming,
or, in my area, (S.C.), June or July.  Mid June should be about 2 months,
since they bloomed.  Or should I wait until next Fall to transplant, so
as not have them struggle through the winter, (which is not really a "winter"
here in the south. I am dividing and tranplanting because I did not get 
very much bloom, and they are very crowded..

I am not exaggerating when I say, I believe I have at least 500 Irises.
We are only living here for a year now, and many of the Irises look like
they have not been given much tender loving care from the previous owners.
They are crowded, and in need of some spacing.

Please straighten me out, so I'll do the best thing for my Irises.    
Thanks for any help!!
