Ihad to dig up my iris and I do not have a new bed ready. I have done all the necessary dividing, etc. Can I store these and plant in the spring? I live in the South. What are these message icons?

Yes you can store them until spring if you wish. I suggest laying them on a thin bed of peat moss, and misting them very very lightly about once every three weeks. The peat has a enzyme in it that inhibits things from decaying, or fungi from building up. Store them in a cool dry place.
