{Disarmed} IRIS PLANTING IN THE SONORAN DESERT, PHOENIX , AZ

Dear Iris Friends:
 
As many already know I am a recent resident to Phoenix, Az area. This is my first iris garden ever. I have planted about 30 different varieties, all tall bearded bi and tri colors. I plantwed them as was outlined and advised.
 
In the desert, how long does it take for them to grow in the desert? Will they bloom in the spring of this coming year? The termperature is current  62 degrees in morning, 75 degrees around noon, and 83 degree late afternoon. (Late October)

Unfortunely I lost Mary Ellen Nichols in '04 with some transitions with transplantings in the garden.

Bob, I love this one too.  Please post the siblings when they bloom. 
 
Have you made any crosses to this pod parent, with an eye to bringing back the ring in MEN?  I'm especially fond of the ringed ones.  Mary Ellen Nichols is one of the irises I got back in 2004 with hopes of including in the rebloomers.  Somehow I've never had just the right cross for it.
