2 summer's from now, I dug up a huge amount of basic purple bearded Iris's. I waited till the foliage yellowed and I dug them up with plans to move them to another spot. Of course I didn't get it done right away and it's just now I remembered they still haven't been put back in. I took them out of the box I had them in and they seem pretty decent for being 2 almost 2 years. No mold or soft spots. The roots are very shriveled though, so I'm not sure if they will come back up? I put them in today and watered them, is it hopeless?

Thanks

Melissa
