No, Ken, those are your words NOT mine. That edge where any plant is happy cannot be drawn as a straight line. I just say for my specific conditions tectorum is happier on the south side of my area. It's pretty obvious that different climates, soils and moisture levels as well as a protective lawyer of snow will make a major difference. 
I wish it were as happy here as it is for you as it's a beautiful iris.
