Hi All, I've never posted in this particular forum, but any help would be appreciated.

I know nothing about this Iris. I was doing some gardening with a neighbor and she gave me a small rhizome of this iris 3 years ago. She also knows nothing about it, as she is not a gardener and rents her house (an old victorian) - all we knew is whatever it was, there were several rhizomes along a wall that appeared to have been previously divided by another renter but were placed in an area that got no sun, so they didn't grow or bloom in her yard.

The first year, it did nothing, as I moved it in the spring. The next year I was pleasantly surprised with a few stalks and huge flowers.

Anyway, now it's huge and I'll be dividing it in the fall. I know it's a tall bearded iris, it's stalks are easily 3' tall. It flops so I stake them.

Any info would be appreciated!
