Jose,
I used to live in Zone 5/6 Kentucky, but have recently moved to Zone 9
Florida. Some plants of Iris unguicularis are on the way. It will be
interesting to see how they do here. This Zone 9 is different than your
Zone 9 in that summers here are hot, humid, and with almost daily
thunderstorms, but the sun still shines most of the time. The typical
summer day will have a maximum temperature somewhere between 32 C and 35 C.
The soil is a well-drained sandy loam.
