Is this the wrong time of year to transplant iris? I have some that keep coming up on the edge of the dry, hard-packed dirt and some gravel driveway that I would really like to move. They are a pale, smaller iris than I have known before. There is another clump of them at the other end of the front year, under a large tree where they get more ambient water. I'd like to move the driveway ones just inside the fence in a dry patch near another tree. Keep in mind this is high desert. No chance of any kind of rot, dampness, etc.

My sweetpea that I planted last year is coming back in full force, and I just noticed my clematis is sending up tendrils. I wasn't sure it would make it this year.
