Your list #2 plus Ferraria. They are just so bizarre, and gaining in popularity.

Subject: [iris-species] most popular irids
I'm working on some updates to the SIGNA website. I'm expanding the
coverage of irids which are, at the moment, a bit of an
"oh-by-the-way". To that end I need some feedback from other people.
1.) Which "Top 4" genera of irids would you say have long been the most
popular & readily available? My thought is: Crocus, Crocosmia,
Freesia, and Gladiolus.
2.) Which other genera of irids would you say are quickly increasing in
popularity in recent years? Try to limit yourself to 6 or so. My
thought is: Dietes, Moraea, Neomarica, Tigridia, Sisyrinchium, and
Solenomelus.
If you need a cheat sheet for a list of genera, see here

You can reply privately if you wish.
Thanks,
