They're too tangled to individually separate out - you will slice some of the tubers but that won't matter. You can just throw a divided section into a pillow case and bring it up here. It should be ok if it dries out a little bit. And then soak it in water before planting it again.

I think it would be a sweet reminder of where you came from.<br /><br />You can dig up a clump and stick them in a bucket of dirt and just stick them in the ground when you get there. You can always dig them up and move them to a better place when you get more settled.

So! Just before you move (as if you won't have anything else to do, then), if you can get the whole thing out of the pot - you can just cut some off with a sharp knife. Put them in a paper bag, possibly? Just some way of transporting them without letting them get to humid and rot.<br /><br />I would try to take them, though - there are so many different varieties and these are just the ones you love....I would try, at least!<br /><br />and, they're GORGEOUS!

Take a shovel and loosen them away from the sides of the container...then take the shovel and sort of cut a section of them out...say about 3-4" diameter. It will cut some bulbs, but there should be intact ones. Do this just before you go on your trip. Wrap the bulbs in moist paper towel then put that into a plastic bag. and tie it secure. Then get them into the ground as soon as you can. You can plant them as one big lump, or break up the bulbs individually and plant a row of them. It will take some time for them to multiply again, but they will. OR take the whole container if you can. <br /><br />These photos are amazing...I love the color of blue they have. Like a blue blue sky. I love how your Iris look in a container too. It gets too cold here to grow them that way. <br /><br />Happy Easter my friend!Lisa Graham https://www.blogger.com/profile/17908986924935514538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3903542526482295642.post-46724471676265983202012-04-08T07:35:04.998-07:002012-04-08T07:35:04.998-07:00Gorgeous Becca, love your chair too, looks like a ...Gorgeous Becca, love your chair too, looks like a perfect spot to relax.
