question about removing iris bulbs
my mom wants to thin out her irises and she doesn't seem to think that she can just dig them up

she's afraid that she won't be able to get all of the root system out

any suggestions?

1. Bearded or beardless?
This site has some good info on the difference and how to dig/divide each kind:
