to the new site which gets plenty of morning through mid day sun. I'm in Z8, coastal Carolina.
I wouldn't add anything unless your soil test says that you need it. At least for Irises. They don't really like for their soil to be overly nutrient rich.
As for the Calla Lily- They will want some extra nutrients, but this is best to be a balanced nutrient rather than just a part of the nutrients.
Make sure that you supplement nitrogen and potassium, as bonemeal has high amounts of phosphorus but very little nitrogen and potassium.

I've grown calla lilies in the ground for many years. It likes/requires moisture. If your coastal Carolina yard has sandy soil, dig 3-4 inches of sphagnum peat moss into the soil before planting.
I live in Washougal washington
You are just in the nick of time. Plant the rhizomes ASAP and water them in well. Bearded iris (aka German iris) should be planted so that half of the rhizome is above soil level. Start by cutting the leaves back to 4 inches. Dig a hole large enough to lay out the roots in all directions. Place a mound of soil in the middle, put the rhizome on top and splay out the roots. Backfill and tamp down the soil. This year, I would add several inches of wood chips or other loose mulch over the rhizome. This won't be necessary in future years; iris are quite hardy once established.
Had to dig because I was moving. How do I keep them, or do I plant them now even though it is late October?
I would wait till spring since they won't have time to get established before cold weather.
The article below gives you the steps to take to overwinter your iris rhizomes.

Iris planted in mostly shaded back yard. Not over watered. No photo
It will likely be another year or two before you start to see a good comeback. They can be slow to recover from drastic moves, especially when the environment is different.
A bloom, even a single one, is a good sign. Patience will be key from here.

Bulbs seem to be large - do you break iris bulbs & gladiola bulbs?
Irises tend to bloom on and off. They also will slow blooming when overcrowded, there is too much shade, insect invasion, or the rhizomes are covered (they like to bask in the sun). This article should help:

I am moving from NH to NC. I have dug up and potted several varieties of my iris that I do not want to leave behind. I found out from movers that they can not legally move plants from state to state. Can i remove the iris from their pots, lay them down in a box of dirt and move them that way? A trojan horse move...lol. any suggestions?
You don't even need the dirt. You can remove the dirt and let the rhizomes dry out and store them in a box, with each variety separated by newspaper. I wouldn't cover the box, they need air. Here is more:

My husband has poisoned around my iris plants with roundup and now some are growing deformed. Can they return to normal for next years flowering or do I pull them out. See attached photos.
You can attempt recovery, but the damage maybe done. Packaging recommends 7 days, but it can be found in soil long after a week. to be safe, wait a month or so before planting again.

Your iris look like most iris to me. Old leaves turn yellow and shrivel as new leaves emerge. And insect damage speckles leaves with yellow dots and streaks. The overall impression is that the plants are doing well. Often, the first thing to show that a plant is struggling is the flowers and your iris blooms appear healthy. Round-Up only damages plants that it lands on: it does not poison roots. Like most poisons, the dose or amount that hits the plant determines the degree of damage. That said, it can take 5 days for damage to show up. I like to clean up the old leaves as they can harbor pests and iris leaf spot fungus. Please read the article on iris leaf spot as it is a common problem. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/iris/iris-leaf-spot.htm
