To transplant irises effectively, dig up the iris clump carefully, ensuring you don't damage the roots. Replant the iris in a sunny location with well-draining soil, making sure the rhizome is just below the surface. Water the iris thoroughly after planting and continue to water regularly until established.
Irises should be transplanted in late summer or early fall to ensure successful growth and development.
To successfully transplant irises to a new location, dig up the iris rhizomes in the fall after they have finished blooming. Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil for replanting. Trim the leaves to about 6 inches and plant the rhizomes just below the soil surface. Water well after planting and continue to water regularly until the irises are established in their new location.
After blooming is done, you can cut back the flower stalks, but don't cut back the leaves until you are ready to separate and transplant irises in the fall. When you take them out to replant, cut the leaves down into about a 4 to 5 inch fan shape.
I would use "irises."
Do not allow irises to become too crowded in your garden because the irises will flower poorly or not at all.
There are around 300 species of irises, which belong to the genus Iris. These plants are commonly classified into several categories, including bearded irises, beardless irises, and bulbous irises. Each category encompasses various species and hybrids, contributing to the diversity of colors and forms found in irises.

Yes, usually called Vase with Irises.
Irises do not live naturally in the desert but can be grown there with sufficient irrigation.
Dutch irises like moist soil. They bloom in the late spring/early summer and, depending on how many plants are in a clump, can bloom for months. If you moved them while or just before they were they were to bloom, you will have to wait until next year because you may have interrupted their sexual cycle. If they are infant plants, they may not bloom after transplant unless they are a mature "mother" plant that has at least one blooming season, and even this is not a guarantee. I have transplanted irises in my yard that have yet to bloom and that was 2 years ago. I was told that if after two seasons of no blooms, you should re-transplant and separate the mothers and the sisters into individual plants and plant them about 6-12 inches apart in every direction. When some plants get too close to each other, as irises do, they will not reproduce at all. This is why if you don't divide your irises every three to four years or so, they will quit blooming.
