Summary: 


Your advice on transplanting is very good, but I disagree on your timing for
iris.  I have been told (and have practiced) that iris should be divided and
moved in July-August, since they tend to rest shortly after blooming.  If you
try to do it in the spring, they will not recover in time to bloom in June.
Fall might work, although you may not get as much bloom the first year as you
would if you had done it earlier.
