I am not sure if it is due to the zone I live in, but this iris blooms in the fall where I am. (It's zone 8.) Last year it did so, and I just thought it was a fluke. This year, it did it again. I love blooms in November so this is NOT a complaint. The color is an amazing yellow-green. I only wish it grew faster. Doesn't seem to spread the way others often do. I would love more blooms.
