Hi, all. I'm an author/editor/publisher (of retirement plan training and
marketing materials), occasional consultant and life insurance
agent/mutual funds rep in Santa Fe, NM, and an iris enthusiast.

Currently admiring the exceptional profusion of iris blooms in our
garden (due, I suspect, to an unusually rainy spring here) and beginning
to consider our first major division/transplanting in a couple of years
later this summer. Since the regular garden areas are pretty full, I
will be preparing a new and (for me) large all-iris garden, somewhat
away from the house, which I will use for propagation, tubers to take
with us if/when we move next, gifts to friends and cut flowers (we can't
bring ourselves to cut many from the more visible and decorative garden
areas).

Mostly ignorant (despite above-noted enthusiasm), so went searching for
irises on the WWW and found this list. Interested in everything to do
with irises, but especially (right now) soil preparation and timing (I
understand July/August is the general time, but wonder if it is
different here in the high [7,000 feet] desert) and methods of division
and transplanting.

Pleased to be here. Looking forward to meeting you all.
