Iris verna is successful here in a rather dry site under pines and azaleas.
The soil is a sort of sandy clay derived from schist and quartzite and the
site gets quite dry in the summer. Conversely, verna planted in decidious
woods in richer soil lasted only one year.
Gardens of the Blue Ridge, in Robbinsville NC, is a good source for Iris verna.
Don Jacobs' Eco Gardens also lists a white form.
For Florida, especially the peninsula,I would suspect that locally
collected material would be best, however.
There is a picture of my clumps of I. verna on p. 143 of THE GARDENER'S
IRIS BOOK.

Do they sterilize the needles for lethal injections?
