That's some accomplishment Lee-Roy--planning and implementing your vision.What will you do and plant on the steep shady slope, covered in ivy behind the shed.Will you terrace that, perhaps a few rhododendrons, ferns, galanthus and the like? Those siberian iris that you planted in a group, 4 or 5 ? beside the palm tree may be a bit too close.You may have planned it that way for a mass effect, but in a year each plant will be huge, given the heavy watering they need after flowering to induce bloom for the following year.By that time you will need an axe to separate them, they have a very dense fibrous root system.Here is a pic of some one year old divisions that most were about the size of your plants.Pretty big within a year.
