This week I dug up a plethora of iris from a flower bed at my church that will be bulldozed in mid-May due to construction. These iris should bloom in late May and have nice long leaves and the beginnings of emerging buds on a few. If I transplant them now in my garden, in mid-April, will they bloom? Or should I store them and wait to plant in the fall? I live in the Eastern shore of Maryland.
