Betty,
Sorry for the dud message before this. Darned thing accidentally
sent. My experiences with Irises in Kentucky was in Lexington, and I think
that bloom season is a week or ten days later than your area.
The only Iris there that would bloom in March [excluding short lived
bulbous species] was ATROVIOLACEA. The SDB's would start in mid April, and
the earlist of TB varieties in late April, that is if they did not get
frozen. The bulk of the Iris bloom season was in May, with Japanese and
Louisianas in June.
I did not try some of the extra early blooming types because a
horrific freeze in April was an almost certain thing.
