{Disarmed} Re: Can anyone identify this Iris?

---

You have an Iris sanguinea. Which cultivar among all
the varieties may be hard to determine but it is
similar to Caesers's Brother a common old variety that
grows well. Kelly i can't tell what part of the
country you live in but it is likely that this
Siberian iris will prefere dividing and transplanting
as the days begin to cool in late summer or fall.
Whenever it is important after dividing not to let the
roots dry out until next spring when it will form a
new set.
