Maybe they are so limp because they were given too much water and too much
fertilizer?

Is it normal for iris to fall over? I mean the flowers, of course. They
were fine until the flowers came out and then boom, down they went.
Should I tie them up somehow? The flowers are HUGE.

Well, these were some bulbs from my grandmother's house and I didn't want
to plant another variety, I just had these because they reminded me of
her. I don't remember hers falling over. Could it be because I have them
planted under the eave of my house and they're trying to get more sun?
