Jeff 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?

it sure does sound like u planned your iris to deep. the rhizome itself should be at soil leve. unless the top part shows your iris will produce either very few flowers or none at all. good luck, sockescat.
