I'm wondering exactly what my pallida is.  You have said it is
subject to frost many years.  Mine, until now, is the last one usually
to start active growth and blooms very late, so has been well beyond
our freeze weather patterns and closer toward the cooking ones.  Also,
the blooms don't look like those I can find photos on, e.g. the photo on
the HIPS website or any of the catalogs showing photos.  On the other, 
the foliage and dormancy sound right, as the one I have is the yellow 
variegated.  It was a free plant bonus several years ago and was not
identified other than variegated iris.
