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.
Iris should be divided in the late summer after they have stored energy in their rhizomes all summer. If you wait too long into the fall to replant the rhizomes, the roots may not have enough time to establish before the ground freezes and the plants will be subject to frost heaving.
