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.

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
