When I moved to Central Florida (100 mi. south of Jacksonville) I brought
100 or so bearded irises with me. The following year I had 50% bloom. The
year after that 1%  then they were gone. They really do need to have a
winter to trigger the following years bloom. Where I am we get a week or
two that gets down to 35 deg F. It's just not enough.
