Rank Beginner with Irises !!!


Hello Out There !!!

I live in Tucson, Arizona.  I am retired and trying to learn to be a 
gardener of sorts.  I made an approximately 4 X 6 foot amd 18 inch 
high Above Ground Iris Bed during the summer.  On September 23rd I 
purchased some Iris Rhizomes from the local Iris Society here in 
Tucson, Arizona.  I followed the planting instructions given me.  
They suggested not planting the Iris until the daytime temperatures 
were under 90 degrees.  This didn't occur until October 1st.  So I 
planted the rhizomes them.  Now two weeks later I am just seeing 
little new sprouts about a quarter of an inch high coming up.  Do you 
think that this is a normal development so far.  The area in which I 
planted the Iris had been in the full sun until approximately 2:00 
p.m. during the summer.  Now that the sun is lower in the South I 
only get full sun until approximately 11:00 a.m.

Any Help Would Be Greatly Appreciated.
