I do not know what type they are and neither does the person who gave
them to us. I may replant them; it looks like maybe I transplanted them
too deep in the ground. I provide them with bone meal every spring, but
I am also giving them Miracle Grow. I will discontinue the Miracle Grow
and see what happens.

Thank you for all your replies and pointers.

A friend gave a bunch of irises to us after they failed to
thrive at
her house; she planted them in a shady part of her lawn.

We transplanted the irises to our garden in a sunny location.
It has
been three years and we have seen only one iris bloom; the
bloom was
yellow. No blooms this year. I wonder what I'm doing wrong and
whether I should just get rid of them.

Thank you,

Jeff

What kind of Iris?
