little holes? sounds like you might have small iris boarers starting to feed on
and drill into the iris, time to make a bucket of water with a cup or two of
bleach in it and wash the iris with it.

Small iris toes will need a year or two before they reach blooming size.

This is the first time that I'm digging up my bearded irises to divide, and I
noticed that some of them had little holes on on the bottom of the bulbs.
Should I dispose of these or are they okay to plant? Also, after dividing,
will I need to wait a year before I see flowers?
