Oh, yes - but not many of us. Your Zone 3 climate is appreciably
different from ours in the Eastern U.S. mountains. I live in a temp-
erate rain forest and have a later iris bloom time than S.W. Manitoba
with TBs blooming the middle to the end of June going into July with
the Siberians.

The same here....welcome to the iris-l and hopefully to AIS. We
need more cold weather iris growers....but don't tell our warmer
weather brethren about how easily and wonderfully long our iris
decorate our gardens....maybe they wouldn't believe it. :-)
