One year I had dug up a big bunch of them and tossed them in a pile to deal with later. Life interrupted and lo and behold the next spring here were all these irises blooming right there where I'd tossed them.
Same thing happened with a neighbor and his irises. Wife wasn't happy with the placement of the newly replanted irises but 3 years later they're still there.
