Sib season in Lithuania

Hello members,
As I have noted earlier our spring was cool and long and siberians irises as well as beardeds and others have displayed in growth gradually from early to late. The heat from about June 5 have hastened flowering and some flowered on shorter stems than it would be in normal weather. I put here calendar of flowering, maybe for someone will be useful to know.
June 1 - I.typhifolia, June 4 - yellow seedling from Kaunas Bot. garden /last year pic./, June 5 - Pleasure Of May, Lavender Bounty, June 7 - Windwood Spring, Sailors Fancy, June 8 - Harpswell Haze, Cherry Lyn, June 9 - Butter and Sugar, Jeweled Crown, Aqua Whispers, Coronathion Anthem, Lilting Laura, June 10 - Shall We Dance, Reprise, June 11 - Dance Ballerina Dance, Fisherman's Morning, June 12 - Sweet Success, June 13 - Limehart, Ruffled Welvet, June 14 - Creme Chantily, Purple Sand, Standing Tall, Golden Crimping, June 15 - Shirley Pope, June 16 - Devil's Dream, Mesa Pearl, Wing On Wing, June 17 - Regency Belle, Sprinkles. All these sibs grow in the same location and have the same conditions. I have very good flowering of Orville Fay, but it grow near wood and it's flowering season can not be compared with others.
The favourites of this year for me are: Aqua Whispers, Creme Chantily, Devil's Dream, Golden Ccrimping, Jeweled Crown, Mebel Coday, Mesa Pearl, Purple Sand, Regency Belle, Sailors  Fancy, Shall We Dance.
Until now I can not comprehend what happened with Frosted Cranbery. As I have noted last yer it grew bad and leaves were narrow and not more than 25cm high. After winter it showed new shoots, but growth is the same as last year. I have no idea what to do, that it would not die.
Flwering of siberians continue and continue heat.
I have done many photos of siberians and if someone is need one or another, mabe I will find in my pic collection and send you in private mail.
