This has been my first year for growing 'real' Louisiana iris - our winter
was colder before Christmas this year than Jan and Feb - they have grown all
winter long, but have been submerged in water with all the rain we have had.
 I suspect setting them outdoors to harden off now would be ok - pick a day
when it is cloudy and forecast for rain and warm for a few days.  Like today
(Saturday).  Then maybe transplant them during the next wet cycle.
