Hello, everyone!
Sorry for the long wait for a reply! Thank you all for your pictures, ideas, and suggestions! They were all lovely! I ultimately have decided to mix all of my irises up, along with all of my other bulb flowers. The city is doing work on our sidewalks, streets, and back alleys in my neighborhood starting next summer, so this fall, I am moving the bed that is on the outside of our back garden fence *inside* the back garden to prevent them from being destroyed.
This will allow the inner back garden bed to be full and lush, while I can plant wild flowers in the soon-to-be empty outer garden bed. I won't miss those as much as I would the bearded irises if a bulldozer comes around back!
Thank you all again!
Nicole
