Re: Southern Iris species.

 

 
>Not to but in but you also have I. tridentata down there as a native iris.  It will look more like a setosa than a LA.

Will,
     When I first came to Florida, I brought some Iris tridentata, but lost it.  But, I now know it was in a horrible location.  At that time I used some kiddie pools to grow them in, and that was a flop.  Large pots and tubs work much better.  Iris tridentata is found native in Florida, but not this far south.  Check this map http://plants.usda.gov/java/county?state_name=Florida&statefips=12&symbol=IRTR  See the county in the northeast part of the state that has it.  Count from that county three to the south staying inland.  Notice the large landlocked county there.  That is Marion County which is where I live over in the southwest part.  Would Iris tridentata have an honest chance there?  I am interested in trying it again.
