Moms... You didn't say what springs bulbs were, tulips or daffs maybe? If so then they could be dug, soil removed, dry in shade a few days, can replant asap or in fall. Also on the iris, if german bearded, dig, remove soil, dry in shade and replant when possible, if japanese or siberian, pot up. I agree with others about cutting back foliage for those in bloom or not, they will go thru some shock but should rebound. Only problem with moving, you don't know if new owner will enjoy your beauties as much as you, so yes take them with you. If necessary could maybe divide others not being taken to fill in holes. Isn't it amazing how we become attatched to our flowers? LOL! Good Luck, Kathy.
