Shirley,
Tall Bearded Irises are very iffy in Florida. I have had some of Monty
Byers rebloomers to last several years and still are there when grown in pots
filled with a good quality potting soil.
If you have a spot that stays constantly wet, you could grow Louisianas.
I have had success with Iris virginica.
I probably am not too far from where you are. I am a little north of
Dunnellon, in southwestern Marion County.
