These are special to me. They were from the garden of my former mother-in-law who died of cancer years ago. Pale yellow bearded iris that we planted over a decaying tree stump site. They didn’t bloom the first two years but now the blooms are as large as my fist and plentiful.
Do you know: should the blooms be removed when they fade? I’ve done that this year and I’ve had more blooms than ever before...? Also, I don’t know if they should be in full sun as I have them so I moved some to shade in back to see how they do there.
I think my mom usually removes blooms when the start to wilt. I don't know if that practice is right for irises specifically, but many flowers bloom better if the dying blooms are removed.
I think iris do fine in direct sunlight. You might check on some of the online catalog places. They would have sun exposure recommendations for all kinds of flowers.
