I have found 50 new iris bulbs that were not planted last fall. They have been in box out of light and cool and dry. When should I plant them since it is already spring?
I would go ahead and plant them as soon as the chance of frost has passed. Normally they are planted in late summer or early fall, but since they are from last fall, I would not wait.

We have several iris this year that changed totally to bi-color as another we have several feet away
Unfortunately, it's pretty much out of your control. Here is why:

My iris's were moved during a building of a carport. I thought I had lost them but found the bulbs & some green leaves on the bulbs that are not in the dirt. Can I transplant them or replant them now since they are out of the ground. I know it is not the season to transplant.
Yes, I would go ahead and plant them now. Be sure you let them die back all the way in the fall/winter before removing the leaves, so they can "feed" the rhizomes.

The piece entitled "Iris care: information on iris plant care" by Becca Badgett was illustrated with a wonderful (but not identified) hot pink iris. What is the name of this iris?
I clicked on the image author and he did not give a plant name but it looks like a type of miniature iris. There are too many iris cultivars that look almost alike to try to identify one. You can try searching online for a hot pink or fuchsia miniature iris and see what you get.
Will the divided, relocated Siberian types’ blossoms return to their original larger size? Photos are of relocated irises. In the original, 12+ years old, large clumps the flowers were abundant and 50% larger to twice as large.
They will recover, but may take two or three years. An iris clump left for that long will have suffered quite a bit of stress, as they should be divided periodically to avoid overcrowding. When you do go to divide such a mass, it will take a toll on them for a little bit.
Rest assured, with proper care your flowers will be back to beautiful in the next couple of years. Dividing them every 3 to 5 years or less will keep them healthy.

I would like to replant the rhizomes in the next 2 weeks What is the best way to store them before planting. I dug them up and separated them on May 14
I hope you kept your rhizomes dry and in a cool, dark place. Here's an article:

Please help...desperately trying to save my heirloom bearded iris...I dug them up, used a spoon to scoop out mush and rot, dipped in bleach/water solution, dried in sun for 1 afternoon then dusted with Bonide sulpher fungicide...scooped out some soil, replace with new, also dusted soil with a little fungicide...replanted so rhizomes were visible, not too deep, watered lightly. Leaves are starting to yellow again....as you can see from 1st picture to just 5 days later. What else can I do? Should I dig them up again and start process over...more bleach, fungicide and dry for several days? Just hoping to save them...thanks for any suggestions!!!
That is a whole lot of stress for a plant! I think the fungicide, alone, would have been enough, as well as testing the soil for pH imbalances and nutrient deficiencies.
The test, now, may likely show chlorine toxicity in the soil. Keep testing the soil until everything falls back into range, and you can begin to correct the pH and deficiencies, then.
Make sure that the soil has plenty of time to dry out, down to about 3 or 4 inches or so, between waterings. Overwatering is the primary cause for infections to set in.
Keep treating with a fungicide, making sure to follow all packaging instruction to avoid soil toxicity.
