I know it is trite, but there are no dumb questions on Iris-l. We all started
out sometime knowing nothing about Irises (esp me about 2 years ago)
Here are some websites that will describe climate zones in detail, show you
maps and tell you your zone.

http://www.islandnet.com/~dlewis/zonemap.htm

http://pathfinder.com/@@pY0ZcAQAoCJI*v6R/vg/TimeLife/ZoneFinder/zoneinfo.html
Another thing to remember (if you are in the western US in particular, is that
there is a second system referred to as the Sunset Western Sunset Zones. I
think they are defining these zones for all of the US as well but it is not
out yet
