I came home late last night so pleasently surprised!

My boyfriend had brought home 3 big boxes of various flowers from his mothers garden - she built a huge raised flower bed and wanted to get rid of all of her existing flowers!

So I have Bleeding Hearts (red and white), a white rose bush, Irises, Daffodils (120 bulbs!!), Sweet William, Phlox, Johnny Jump Ups and Lupins, as well as two different types of several unknown bulbs.

In my excitment (and worry about the rain coming in) - we spent all day planting everything around the yard. I did a quick search on the internet of everything, and kept in mind where they were located in her yard (sun exposure, wind, etc).

Since I had no idea I was getting all of this, and they were all just sitting in the box with their roots and bulbs exposed (and the sky was looking VERY dark), their locations were picked out rather quickly.

I am pretty satisfied with the spots most of the plants are in except for the Irises and Daffodils.

We put the Irises (about 20 bulbs) in the garden all along the house behind smaller prennials (young Hostas, Coleus, toad lilies and Balloon flowers - all planted this year - it was supposed to be a shade garden, but the summer sun shines more than we thought - it was shade in winter!) I know it will get crowed when everything grows up - we will have to relocate something. Right now it seems to get sun for a little over 1/4 of the day - will this be bad for the Irises? We had nowhere else to put them - will digging them up and moving them again (If we build a new bed) be too hard on them?

We dug a narrow bed for the Daffodils along the path to the backyard - a very long path. It gets full sun and slopes slightly.

Now I realize that Daffodils only bloom in spring (yet apparently they have not bloomed yet - will they bloom at all this year?) So I would like to take out every other Daffodil and replace it with a Lily to have colour most of the summer (or another plant - any suggestions?).

Lastly, we have two different kinds of bulbs that we are not sure of what they are (and BF didnt seem to remember, either). One has just one large tear drop shaped leaf, and the other looks like a bigger, leafier version of my daffodils. We planted all of them in a flower bed in the back, which gets pretty good sun, and we'll see what comes up.

I realize pictures would simplify my explanations - and there would be some if the sky wasn't so threatening. I guess I am feeling very overwhelmed with the huge change in my garden (It took months for me to plan a small flower bed!)

Can anybody offer any advice, ideas or suggestions on anything? I am very worried that transplanting all the bulbs this time of year might hurt them, and that my Irises might not get enough sun (I am very new to all of this!) Can I do anything to lessen the shock of transplant? Should I leave the irises alone and see how they fare? I would hate to lose all of these flowers my first ever attempt at gardening!

Thanks for any help!
