Bearded iris transplant well, love the sun, don't mind the frost, come up year after year with tall metre high spikes with tennis ball sized blooms that come out in succession up the stalk.
They are spectacular plants. Warning: It can be addictive. Very hard job choosing a favourite. All my pictures are of my own plants. I do not use internet pics.

This little iris hugs the ground. I've kept mine in a big pot where it is very happy. It grows less than a hand width high.
You will have at least three little rhizomes to plant. They will be bare rooted.
Bearded Iris like the soil drier rather than soggy, enjoy the sun and are frost … View moreThis little iris hugs the ground. I've kept mine in a big pot where it is very happy. It grows less than a hand width high.

One of the biggest factors in getting a good night’s sleep is the comfort of your mattress. If you regularly wake up with muscle or joint stiffness, interrupted sleep, or your mattress is making more noise than usual then it's time to replace and refresh.
Experts recommend a change of mattress every 8-10 years, so if you haven't changed your mattress within those years then now is a good time to do so.
Investing in your dream sleep can pay a huge factor for your health, and once you’ve found the right mattress the thought of replacing it will be the last thing on your mind.
A mattress is a long-term hold, not a life-long hold.
