If you have a small & struggling one, I think it would be happier if transplanted, even if it lost some root in the process. My 2 cents!

CAM, make sure you get to the FSK society rhizome sale this summer at Dutch Plant Farm, too... date is in July, will check to see when it falls this year. I'll be dividing some of the clumps in front.. I took photos but they're on my cell phone, need to get them uploaded onto the computer. I'm re-starting a lot of my iris area, so I should have more to share in another year or two.

Sally, the white iris you got from FSK is probably 'Silver Dividends' if it's the same one I got that year. Not sure about the purple... I only have names of the ones I kept... there were a couple of purple bicolors and then 'Honky Tonk Blues' which I think was pretty ruffly but more blue than purple (although that's subjective).

Here's one of the irises in my "pot ghetto" that bloomed last week, 'Vanity', a nice clear pink. :-)
