Question for iris officionados regarding soaking white iris rhizomes

7. You should take them out of water and trim the foliage

to about 2-3 inches, lay out on newspaper of paper bags for a couple days then you can keep them in a paper bag for a week or whatever until you can put them in the ground and enjoy them in the spring next year.

100 rhizomes is quite a few! I love planting them and seeing what they are the next year... all mine were donated so it was a big surprise the first spring after planting. there were purple ones that smelled like grape bubble gum and some that smelled like root beer and others that smelled like roses. Such a variety makes them delightful to smell as much as marvel at their structure and coloration.
