You should be having bloom by now. I can feel buds coming on mine.

Next week-end the Society for Louisiana irises has its convention in Lafayette, LA. They are in Zone 9 and would be slightly behind you. How much sun do they get? They need more than a half day of direct sunshine to be at their best.

Sometimes newly set plants do not bloom on time or at all the first season. Can you feel any stalks coming at the base of the fan? They would be hard to the touch.

I hope something shows up soon!

Thanks Walter,
My irises get the required sun and I've got healthy fans but no stems (yet).

Perhaps the weather has something to do with it. My orchid tree is finally in bloom - it usually occurs in February. Gingers have slowed down, golden dew drops are finally blooming, etc. etc. Ever since hurricane wilma down here, things seems to be growing out of their normal times. I guess there's nothing to do buy wait.
