    These are related to the Iris crestata you asked about earlier.* Without seeing the blooms I can tell they are Iris.* I just don't know which variety.* Once they bloom take some pictures and measure the heights so you will better be able to narrow down which clasification aka type they are.* Here's the different types.** You can also look at pics at that site.
    http://www.irises.org/classification.htm

    If they become too crowded they won't bloom well.* They are usually best divided every 3 to 4 years in late July to late August.* Here's how.

    When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

    Really, really nice!* Check to make sure they aren't planted too deep from that site I gave you on how to plant and divide them.

    Thanks for posting that pic.* :)
