You have worked so long that you need a few days rest, Kathy Ann. I have the same problem with Japanese Iris, I had them in the shade and only got a couple of blooms, then saw all of yours in the big sun garden and they were just a bouquet the last time we were there. I dug all of them up last fall and potted them up. I made a new rose bed so I could go and get the rest of Mamma's roses. I have put the Japanese iris in the new bed with the roses. I am hoping maybe next year to get some blooms. I am not finished with it yet, still have to get the soil built up some more. I am still working on the rock wall on the front too. There was an old field road there a long time ago, before our new neighbor moved in and dozed it all away. Those big rocks were put there to haul timber out, I am digging them out and making the wall, also to get it to where I cam mow that area in front of the bed.
