One hundred police officers have died nationwide so far in 2015 while in the line of duty, up 15 percent from this time last year, according to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, a nonprofit law enforcement information clearinghouse.
Bearded irises grow well in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 4 through 10. The best time to divide these plants is four to six weeks after they bloom -- midsummer to early fall -- every two to three years when blooming decreases.
There are now reblooming iris available that rebloom in the fall. The rebloomers can be divided in the same way as the one-time bloomers. The best time to plant or transplant iris is after flowering through August. Iris are one of the few perennials to transplant during the hottest part of the year. Established plantings of iris should be divided every 3-4 years or whenever the clump becomes crowded or when flowering decreases.
