Hope someone can fill me in. :) When a dear friend's mother (a second mother to me) passed away, she gave me some iris (bulbs?) (rhizomes?). Anyway, I planted them and they grew. And grew. And spread. Now I need to move them. For various reasons, I don't want them by the mailbox, at least not so many! I guess my questions are:

1. What type of Iris is this? They are much more purple than they look in the photos.

2. When can I move these?

3. Any chance they'd live in a large container? I will be moving in a year or two and would like to take them with me...at least some of them.

All information is welcome and much appreciated.
