sweetbay103 - I like the Turk's Cap lily. In my yard, L. formosanum is blooming and 'Black Beauty' just finished. But overall it's been a bad year for the lilies - something seems to be eating them (maybe voles). About half of them didn't come back this spring - they just disappeared.

av_ocd_girl - 3 times is pretty impressive for an iris. The few that I have only bloom once in late spring.

My yard looks pretty crappy now - no rain recently and all the grass is brown and dead. It's so dry even the lantana has almost stopped blooming.

Here is one thing I do have... Clerodendrum trichotomum - good food for the butterflies.
